Featured Words Leaving The English Language In Bible Translations

I did a look-see of words that have been disappearing in a number of Bible translations, or at any rate, have reduced usage. I am not listing Bible versions that do not contain these words. You can guess.
I will not be putting these versions in any order. I will not list the same ones each time. I am interested in Bible versions that use these words less than 50 times. This is not comprehensive. It will be a mishmash. There will be times in which I don't enumerate some items to your satisfaction. This is rather random. Bear with me.
Whew! Now after all those qualifiers:

Brimstone
NET --5
CEB and ESV --1

Conjure
NET, LEB -- 8
NIV -- 1

Estate
CSB -- 11
NLT,NIV -- 10
CEB -- 8
NASB, NET -- 4
LEB -- 1

Fervent
CSB -- 8
NRSV -- 6
LEB,NET -- 4
CEB -- 3

Hence
NRSV -- 11
ESV -- 3
CEB, NET -- 1

Naught
NRSV -- 2
CEB, NIV -- 1

Recompense
ESV -- 13
LEB -- 9
NIV -- 2
____________________________________________________________________________-
The word sackcloth is still used rather commonly. The NLT has burlap instead. The words forsake and forsaken are still in regular use.
Please add other words to the list. That will be insightful.

 

Oops, I forgot one that I had made on another paper.

Inasmuch
NKJV -- 25
KJV --- 9
LEB -- 5
ESV -- 4
NIV --- 2
NASB, EHV -- 1

Isn't it unusual that the NKJV would use that particular word more than the KJV? One would think that the KJV would have used that word more inasmuch as it smacks so much of older English. But remember, the Revised Version of 1885 used a lot more antiquated English than the King James Version ironically enough.

 

No particular point at all. I'm merely observing the evolution of language. (Not the Evolution vs. Creationism debate). Words come and words go. And not just in Bible translations. A lot of slang expressions of the past would mystify many of us today, as well as perfectly serviceable words of yesteryear.

 

Sigh, when will you tire of your juvenile antics? The NIV is not considered by anyone to be "really contemporary." Even the CEV doesn't read in a contemporary manner despite being called the Contemporary English Version.

Stop your typical drive-by method of operation. Offer some substance at least once-in-a-blue-moon.

 

Infidel
NASB -- 13
LEB -- 8
EHV, CEB -- 4
NRSV -- 2
NET --- 1

Keen
NET, NRSV -- 2
NIV -- 1

Wanton
NRSV -- 8
ESV --- 3
LEB, NET --- 2
NASB, NIV -- 1

 

That's not even in the KJV. But good try. Come up with some other ones.

 

I will now violate one of the rules I sent forth in the OP. I will cite some versions that go over the 50 item parameter, as well as those that go far below that level.
