  • 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
  • World English Bible (WEB)

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:

    “The limitless future of childhood shrinks to realistic proportions, to one of limited chances and goals; but, by the same token, the mastery of time and space and the conquest of helplessness afford a hitherto unknown promise of self- realization. This is the human condition of adolescence.”
    —Peter Blos (20th century)

    “Today, the degradation of the inner life is symbolized by the fact that the only place sacred from interruption is the private toilet.”
    —Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

    “As for the sacred Scriptures, or Bibles of mankind, who in this town can tell me even their titles? Most men do not know that any nation but the Hebrews have had a scripture.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
