Robert Young (compiler of the equally useful concordance) carefully produced a literal English rendering of the original Hebrew and Greek languages It enables students to appreciate the translator's art, assess modern translations, and attempt to construct their own translation Indexable 765 pp.
When I read alone or really need to know what GOD thinks of a situation the Young's Literal is the bible I grab.The verb usage is as close to GOD speaking as I can find,and I have 30 years of study,and taught the manifestations of Holy Spirit.If the King James seems contradictory this Bible will help show you how the Word fits,that there are no contradictions just different circumstances and events that make it seem contradictory.The only weakness is the binding,I've worn out four of this edition.This is the translation to seek if you want clear insight into the Father's ways.

Not just like normal Bibles, it gives the literal words that GOD used. It sounds like the sentences are written backwards, but Young says that most translators changed the Hebrew and Greek tenses around to fit it into english grammar, so he uses the literal tenses. A normal Bible might say "Thou shalt not murder", but this one says "Thou DOST not murder", as if GOD is saying it in faith, and He is.
