    And by what measurements do you base these statements on? What makes you think the NIV 2011 is best for devotionals and the NASB/NKJV are better for serious studies? I have both the 2011 NIV and the NASB and love them both. I think both are good for either/and devotional and serious studying.

    I am looking for to the updated 2019 NASB and see if its better.

    It's just a small thing, but very irritating.
    In Isaiah 55:1, there are three calls to come, but the NIV manages to find four. The first word is not 'come,' it is a call for attention, 'Ho!' 'Hey!' Or 'hoy!' would all do splendidly. It is the cry of the market vendor to gain the attention of the crowd.

    So, when I preach on this chapter in a couple of weeks' time, do I lie and say there are four 'comes'-- in which case I would come under the just condemnation of @Rippon? Or do I waste time explaining why the NIV has it wrong?
