The King James Bible is not merely a translation—it is the wellspring of English itself.When Lincoln spoke of 'a house divided,' when King dreamed from the mountaintop, when the weary whisper 'thy will, not mine'—they drew from this well. For four centuries, its cadences have shaped how we speak of love and death, justice and mercy, the weight of truth and the gravity of oath.
