I have not delved into the Prophets yet, so appreciate this post. I also like your textual analysis and comparison of ESV and NIV. I know textual analysis is all very complex, yet I’ve found myself returning to the NIV this year. This is partially due to some lingering aftermath from a spiritual abuse experience (where only certain versions were allowed to be read), and partly because I find ESV feels wooden and NIV feels more heartfelt.
Thanks, Wyatt, for your thoughtful article.
Thanks, Benno

Thanks, Keturah. I enjoy both the NIV and ESV for different reasons. I am glad you are able to read and enjoy God's word in the NIV!
Very helpful article! Thank you!
You are welcome!
