Of course; it's from the King James version. All antique bibles
printed in English have exactly the same text. This, in fact, was
cut-and-pasted from our electronic copy of it.

We have a lot of different Bible translations - two or three English
versions, about six Dutch versions, a dozen other languages - and I
like to compare them to see by the differences what the underlying
meaning is.
