hate to tell you NASB’s way of rendering the verse may be more accurate to the original.
To be quite honest, I don’t particularly care about the direct-translation accuracy. The impact of the verse is watered down by the newer versions.
if the newer versions are accurate, then what you are saying is that the original is also watered down.
The wording is weaker than in the King James.
well, here is some commentaries on Isaiah 14:12. There seems some conflict on whether or not Lucifer should be used.
