It's close enough. You can find lots of translations of the Bible. One of the most common misquotes you hear at Christmas time, when people say "peace on earth and good will twords men", when it's actually "peace on earth twords men of good will", now there's actually a different meaning behind that. I can deal with slight deviations. Translating things from one language to another is a pain in the fanny.
Wasn't it interesting when Pulp fiction came out that you had a whole crop of people who could quote Ezekiel 25:17 from watching Pulp Fiction 100 times but never cracked open a bible ever? I know I still have that phrase memorized.
I became an out of work computer programmer a couple months ago. I became broke, and started collecting unemployment. I moved back home with Mommy and Daddy to save money. I took a few bucks from my unemployment check to the local casino, and won. Went 3 more times (the last time was this morning), and won each time. That's 4 visits in 6 days now. I've won $900 this week. Not too shabby for someone with no job. I now refer to going to the casino as "going to work"
