Great God shall reward the fool and transgressors!!!

Changed in modern versions.

The NKJV has:

“The great God who formed everything Gives the fool his hire and the transgressor his wages.” (Pr 26:10 NKJV)

The word translated "rewardeth" in the KJV means:
1) to hire
1a) (Qal) to hire
1b) (Niphal) to hire oneself out
1c) (Hithpael) to earn wages

So the meaning, as far as the NKJV is concerned, has not been changed.

Shawn, it needed to have changed. Please read this link slowly and more than once. Why is Proverbs 26:10 written two different ways in two different translations?

I have two things to say to you. I am no longer involved with the Baptist Board. I have stepped down of my own accord. I peep in from time to time frankly to look at you. I posted yesterday and privately to two moderators and two administrators that before I left that I had banned you FOUR times. Twice, you asked to have your account deleted and twice, I banned you for rudeness and accusing modern versions of being of the devil. I warned you first, but you did not listen.

Now you are back for the fifth time. People here can do what they want with your account. I am no longer a moderator in my own eyes.

Shawn, please listen to me. You need some serious help and counsel in understanding Bible translations. You believe EVERYTHING you hear about "modern versions". You bash and bash and bash and bash anything that is not King James 1611.

In the original Hebrew of Proverbs 26:10, the word "God" is not there at all. The King James translators added it. See, it's in italics. That addition does not mean the King James authors were wrong or of the devil. It's the best they could do at the time. It does not make the King James a bad bible.

The reason the verse sounds different is because it was hard to interpret. It's a difference in interpretation of words - not a changing.

PLEASE read the verse in CONTEXT!! Please read verses 7 - 12.

Please read the above link and the context. I like the King James, but I do not believe it is a perfect Bible. I do not worship it. I do not believe that modern versions are inferior or of the devil.

You will not hear from me again. I only popped in to talk privately to other staff and to talk to you here in this thread.

Brother, do some research yourself on questions you have.

I did my research a long time ago and led to this conclusion.
