Primarily the difference is between the KJV/NKJV and the other modern versions.
My question is, essentially, how did the KJV translators come about with their translation? I am/have been looking it over & cannot come up with it. (If I knew how, I'd post it in Hebrew ... any mods that have that capability, please feel free; when I try any Hebrew font, even a cut and paste from Bibleworks, all I get is gibberish.) Here are the verses in English, from the KJV & ESV:
Like an archer who wounds everyone is one who hires a passing fool or drunkard. ESV
The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors. KJV
With each translation that I attempt, I end up with something closer to the ESV. So, how did the KJV come up with its rendering?
