Isaiah 14:6: ESV vs NKJV

Upvote:4

The translation asserting that Deity 'is persecuted' appears to come from the KJV of 1611.

Neither the Coverdale 1535, The Matthew's 1537, The Great Bible 1539, The Geneva Bible 1560 or The Bishop's Bible 1568 have that rendering.

The Webster of 1833 follows the KJV in that place.

Neither Young's Literal Translation nor Green's Literal Translation follow the KJV :

He who is smiting peoples in wrath, A smiting without intermission, He who is ruling in anger nations, Pursuing without restraint! Young's Literal 1862.

All references are from Textus Receptus Bibles

Nor does that translation come from the Vulgate because neither the Wycliffe of 1388 nor the Douay Rheims (OT 1609) render the text in that way.
