\\ So you are saying King James rewrote the Bible when he authorised the translation into the English language of his day! //
How do you know he didn't?
If you only translate and not rewrite why do you leave parts out?
Compare, seeing as you mentioned him, King James version of Luke 1:28
and your own version, for example. It's possible the line was omitted because it contained the word thou, but I doubt it.

Ecclesiastes 8 v 11 reads- Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Just because the penalty does not occur immediately does not mean it will not come. Be aware! Adam and Eve set aside the teaching of God because they became convinced that the penalty—death—would not occur. When they sinned and death did not occur immediately, they were even more convinced. But death did occur, and other evil things happened in their lives that did not have to occur.
We need to understand this as part of the way God operates; He gives us time to learn lessons, to come to a better knowledge of Him, to understand cause and effect. If God reacted immediately when we sinned, it would be all over the very first time. No building of character could take place, no learning by experience, no growth in wisdom, and no understanding of human nature.
Do not be deceived because the penalty does not seem to fall quickly.

It is not arrogance! I speak to thousands of people during the course of my ministry and I rarely find one who is happy with the Old English they are happy to find one that is easily understandable.
I have compared the two versions, and also others. There is no difference apart from old worlde english to modern day english.
Although these words are incorporated in a prayer that Catholics direct to Mary, the Bible itself gives no justification for praying to her, that attention was to focus, not on Mary, but on the Son she was to conceive—Jesus. He was the one who would be great and rule as King. (Philippians 2:9, 10)
Nothing is said about appointing Mary as the “Queen of the Holy Rosary.” Mary did, however, receive a blessing; she became the mother of Jesus.—Luke 1:42.
Mary was not an ambitious woman, seeking prominence. She was happy and content to be a humble worshiper of the Most High God. Her meek, submissive disposition is revealed by her response to the angel Gabriel when she said: “I am the handmaid [servant] of the Lord.” (Luke 1:38, The Jerusalem Bible) Throughout her life, Mary proved to be a sincere woman of faith, a lover of righteousness, a loyal and faithful disciple of Jesus Christ who joined with fellow worshipers in humbly praying to Almighty God. The early Christians prayed with Mary, not to her.—Acts 1:13, 14.
So Vulcan, you know very little.

You're not looking closely enough.

The Bible was meant to be understood. God offers to help you understand it. But we need to show a right attitude, a willing spirit. At Psalm 32:8, 9, Jehovah says: “I shall make you have insight and instruct you in the way you should go. I will give advice with my eye upon you. [But] do not make yourselves like a horse or mule without understanding,
Whose who spiritedness is to be curbed even by bridle or halter before they will come near to you.” God will not cajole us into drawing near to him. We must gladly and willingly draw near by studying his Word, finding delight in doing so, and putting what we learn to work in our lives.—Prov. 2:10, 11.

That why today we see Jehovah’s witnesses as a nation that Jehovah has raised up, a chosen people taken out from all nations, and they are a happy nation. (Is 43:10)
Why is this, Because they have observed Jesus words;. they are not thinking of doing things their own way but do the Father’s will and to follow the commandments of Christ Jesus.
They find happiness in preaching Jehovah’s kingdom in all the world for a witness.
Jehovah’s witnesses are happy to be giving this truth to others throughout the world. They are not selfish, holding it to themselves. They publish Bibles, books, booklets and magazines, distributing these far and wide in many languages throughout all the world.
What a comfort for lovers of true worship! What an encouragement to strive never to allow the satanic characteristics of pride, arrogance, or cruelty to develop in us!

True happiness is contingent upon a right relationship with Jehovah. It is based on love of God and faithfulness to him. Jehovah’s dedicated servants subscribe wholeheartedly to Paul’s words: “None of us, in fact, lives with regard to himself only . . . We live to Jehovah . . . We belong to Jehovah.” (Romans 14:7, 8)
Therefore, true happiness cannot be achieved apart from obedience to Jehovah and joyful submission to his will. Jesus said: “Happy are those hearing the word of God and keeping it!”—Luke 11:28.something you will never know
