The King James Version

A religious code, a moral code, a battle code. A dictionary. An encyclopaedia. A treasure chest of sayings, of teachings now its mysteries are unlocked. The mouth of Everyman with their English-speaking tongues. Everyman now a judge, freely opining and interpreting, quoting from.
