The worst of all....
I found a book in a hospital with no words on the front cover, or title on the first page.
Genesis began without it's name or mention of Moses.
The narrative was sharply different in terms and Chapter Two begins with notation by an obviously immediate and unknown author....
'This is a retelling of Chapter One'.
I suspect the copy to be a 'creationist's' bible.
The scheme of things would have the reader believe without any possibility of evolution.
That Man is a clay doll, set into motion by the immediate breath of God.

Weird, my strawman fundie dad uses NIV, or at least used to, quite a lot.

With all due respect to Pegg and other Jehovah's Witnesses, the Bible I had the most trouble following is the New World Translation.

3 Jesus was Simonʼs house, inside Betany town. Simon, he one lepa guy befo time. Wen Jesus stay eating ova dea, had one wahine dat wen bring one fancy bottle made from alabaster rock. Inside had da nard kine fancy perfume dat cost plenny. She wen put da perfume on top Jesus head wen he was eating. 4 Some guys dea come all huhu, an tell each odda, “Eh, how come she throw way da perfume lidat? 5 How come she neva sell um fo mo den three hundred silva coin, an give da money to da peopo dat no mo notting?” An dey scold her.

OMG I want this version.
I mean, that's what happened in the story though: Hebrews inventing petty excuses to slaughter entire cities.
OMG I want this one.
I find there are paraphrased Bibles which are Not translations.
Translations can be checked against the ancient manuscripts ( including the Dead Sea Scrolls ).
One translation might say do Not be fashioned after the world, while another says do Not be conformed after the world. So, different but similar words still give us the same meaning.
Since the Bible has many corresponding or parallel cross-reference verses or passages, then it is easy to see the internal harmony among its many writers. So, to me what is in error is Not the Bible, but people's ideas in error.
