wow i hope that i am not changing any of your beleifs or anything. i am really confused on this topic look at this verse from Job 17:6 the KJV says: He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret. a tabret, i beleive(correct me please if i am wrong), is a drum but look at what it says in the NIV: God has made me a byword to everyone, a man in whose face people spit. It doesn\'t even mention a tabret. i don\'t understand what if the writer of this book didn\'t mean what the NIV changed it into? How would you know,this is kinda weird for me, does anyone know what the truth is?
