I consider that assessment of THE MESSAGE

to be sooooooooooooo far removed from fact as to say far more about the . . . source(s) of the opinion . . . than of THE MESSAGE.

The Douay

LOL. No thanks. Doesn't catch the flavor of the original near enough--particularly in modern language. So far removed as to be functionally inaccurate to a disturbing amount.

But, it's been a long time since I read any verse in it.

Do they have an updated modern language version?

Try www.drbo.org

Douay is word-by-word Vulgate, and is the closest to the Greek original that I know. There are one or two inaccuracies that I now of. King James is worse, but still serviceable. The modern translations are outright obfuscatory.

Another good source is

The Unbound Bible.

Eleven English translations, Greek NT, LXX, Hebrew, Latin, all major languages. Up to four side-to-side. Searchable in all languages. Complete canon. I cannot recommend this tool enough.
