You want confusing...read the NIV:

Isaiah 14:12 New International Version (NIV)

12 How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!

NIV: Revelation 22:16,

"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you [1] this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."

Now read these two verses in the KJV

You want confusing...read the NIV:

Isaiah 14:12 New International Version (NIV)

How about 1st Corinthians 5:5

KJV: to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

NIV 84: hand this man over to Satan, so that the sinful nature may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord.

A casual NIV reading makes it sound like Satan will save his spirit on the day of the Lord. It doesn't mention Jesus.

"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!"

It depends. Is this verse really referring to Lucifer, or the king of Babylon?

Anyway, as I said, I like the poetic feel of the KJV. I have one of those too. But you might need something in addition to it for more accurate translation.
