  • Young's Literal Translation
  • American Standard Version (1901)
  • Rotherham's Emphasized Bible (1902)
  • Bible In Basic English (1949/1964)
  • Amplified Bible (1954/1987)
  • New World Translation (1961), and "Jehovah" also in New Testament Old Testament quotes
  • Jerusalem Bible (1966)
  • Anchor Bible
  • New Jerusalem Bible (1985)
  • New English Bible (NT 1961, OT 1970)
  • Living Bible (1971)
  • New Living Translation (1996/2004), and "LORD" with small capitals also in New Testament Old Testament quotes

Some translations use a form such as "Yahweh" only sporadically:

  • Holman Christian Standard Bible (1999/2002), e.g. Jer. 14:16
  • The Complete Bible: An American Translation by John Merlin Powis Smith (1939), e.g. Exodus 3:15, 6:3, 17:15, although not in Amos 5:8.

Famous quotes containing the words limited, sacred and/or bibles:

    There is, it seems to us,
    At best, only a limited value
    In the knowledge derived from experience....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    See how the sacred old flamingoes come,
    Painting with shadow all the marble steps:
    Aged and wise, they seek their wonted perches
    Within the temple, devious walking, made
    To wander by their melancholy minds.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    When lions paint pictures men will not always be represented as conquerors. When women translate laws, constitutions, bibles and philosophies, man will not always be the declared heard of the church, the state, and the home.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton 1815–1902, U.S. women’s rights activist, author, editor. The Revolution (August 13, 1868)
