King James gathered group of scholars headed by Francis Bacon. Bacon engaged Shakespear to edit the Bible. All styles of writing in the Bible is similar to other Shake spear books. If no good at Shake spear hard to understand the Bible.
Shakespear was 46 years old when he edited the Bible. Go to Psalms 46:1 start from 1st word to 46th you find Shake. Count from last word of this Psalm, not include Selah, and back to 46th word you get spear.
1God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains
shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the
spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.
46, 46, 46
King James are hard to read, NIV is much better modern and updated!
We need to move forward in time while retaining good traditional values!
