No. NIV got it right.
The proof is in the KJV1611,
the sidenote says that the second
best translation is "daystarre".
Jesus is not equal to Satan.
Here are some names of a planet:
Venus, Morning Star, Evening Star
Daystarre. These are all names for the
same physical reality: the second
planet from the Sun.
This planet is now called "Venus".
When Venus preceeds the Sun, it is known
as the "Morning Star".
When Venus follows the Sun, it is
known as the "Evening Star".
Sometimes, when Venus is as far from
the sun as it can get, it can be seen
in the daytime, hence the name "Daystarre".
Sorry I don't know any Hebrew, but i can
read an English Dictionary.
BTW, I love the KJV, especially the
KJV1611: the first original, starting KJV.
I even love the modern version (MV)
editions of the KJV: KJV1769 and KJV1873.
