Bible Question (short): Which Hosea 11:12 is correct? |
Question (full): Can anyone help me understand WHICH is correct? I understand about the NIV generally being more accurate than the KJV. NIV is also easier to understand because they translate “he” into Jesus or God much more often than KJV does. Yet this one verse is so VERY different between the two translations. Hosea 11:12 KJV reads: “Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: BUTJudah yet RULETH WITH God, and is faithful WITH the saints.” And the NIV reads: “Ephraim has surrounded me with lies; the house of Israel with deceit, AND Judah IS UNRULY AGAINST God, even AGAINST the faithful Holy One.” I’ve checked numerous other translations and they agree with NIV, but I still don’t understand “WHY” the difference. |
