Welcome to Proverbs -- A Chapter a Day.
This thread will serve as a meeting ground for those looking for study buddies and accountability.
In the hustle and bustle of our busy lives we sometimes forget to take the time to read Scripture. It's understandable; it happens to us all! Hopefully this forum will serve as an accountability medium and some form of structure to help you stay on track.

Hi,
Since I am told this is true about the usage of Jehovah, rather than Yahweh, is there a way to have the online version not use, the probable incorrect term Jehovah?
Jehovah (/dʒɨˈhoʊvə/ jə-hoh-və) is a Latinization of the Hebrew יְהֹוָה, one vocalization of the Tetragrammaton יהוה(YHWH), the proper name of the God of Israel in the Hebrew Bible.
The consensus among scholars is that the historical vocalization of the Tetragrammaton at the time of the redaction of the Torah (6th century BCE) is most likely Yahweh. The historical vocalization was lost because in Second Temple Judaism, during the 3rd to 2nd centuries BCE, the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton came to be avoided, being substituted with Adonai ("my Lord"). The Hebrew vowel points of Adonai were added to the Tetragrammaton by the Masoretes, and the resulting form was transliterated around the 12th century as Yehowah.[1] The derived forms Iehouah and Jehovah first appeared in the 16th century.
"Jehovah" was popularized in the English-speaking world by William Tyndale and other pioneer English Protestant translations such as the Geneva Bible and the King James Version.[2] It is still used in some translations, such as the New World Translation and Young's Literal Translation, but it is does not appear in most mainstream English translations, as the terms "Lord" or "LORD": used instead, generally indicating that the corresponding Hebrew is Yahweh or YHWH.[3][4]:5
