“Certainly the Douay-Rheims version was far better than the NAB which is currently being used by the Church.”

Why do you say the DR is better than the NAB?

I wasn’t thinking of this verse in particular. I just find the NAB kind of clunky, and it suffers from the political correctness of most recent translations.

A group of Protestants and Catholics got together and developed the Revised Standard Version, and as I said, I like that one. It has footnotes where Protestants and Catholics disagree about an occasional verse. And it contains the Apocryphal books in the Catholic version, duly noting that Protestants do not consider them to be formally part of the Bible. The New Revised Standard Version is a big step in the wrong direction, regretably.
