Noah Webster's Bible 1833
| 22:1 | Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, |
| 22:2 | Can a man be profitable to God, as he that is wise may be profitable to himself? |
| 22:3 | Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect? |
| 22:4 | Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment? |
| 22:5 | Is not thy wickedness great? and thy iniquities infinite? |
| 22:6 | For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for naught, and stripped the naked of their clothing. |
| 22:7 | Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withheld bread from the hungry. |
| 22:8 | But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honorable man dwelt in it. |
| 22:9 | Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken. |
| 22:10 | Therefore snares are around thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee; |
| 22:11 | Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee. |
| 22:12 | Is not God in the hight of heaven? and behold the hight of the stars, how high they are! |
| 22:13 | And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud? |
| 22:14 | Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven. |
| 22:15 | Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden? |
| 22:16 | Who were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflowed with a flood! |
| 22:17 | Who said to God, depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them! |
| 22:18 | Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me. |
| 22:19 | The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent deride them. |
| 22:20 | Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth. |
| 22:21 | Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: by this good shall come to thee. |
| 22:22 | Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thy heart. |
| 22:23 | If thou shalt return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. |
| 22:24 | Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. |
| 22:25 | Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defense and thou shalt have plenty of silver. |
| 22:26 | For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face to God. |
| 22:27 | Thou shalt make thy prayer to him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. |
| 22:28 | Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established to thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. |
| 22:29 | When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is exaltation; and he shall save the humble person. |
| 22:30 | He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thy hands. |
Noah Webster's Bible 1833
While Noah Webster, just a few years after producing his famous Dictionary of the English Language, produced his own modern translation of the English Bible in 1833; the public remained too loyal to the King James Version for Webster’s version to have much impact.
