  • 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:

    ...women were fighting for limited freedom, the vote and more education. I wanted all the freedom, all the opportunity, all the equality there was in the world. I wanted to belong to the human race, not to a ladies’ aid society to the human race.
    Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)

    Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    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)
