[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4411748, member: 8267"]The text is at least after the Revised Standard Version (RSV), first published in 1952, which eliminated most of the archaic English "thees" and "thous", using them only when addressing God. This website allows you to enter a chapter and verse, and then select from various versions for the translation: [URL]https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+45%3A2-3&version=RSV[/URL] The key differences in this passage seem to be "level the mountains" vs "exalted places", or "make the rough places smooth"; "cut through the bars" vs. "asunder"; and the use of "hoards" vs "riches". The closest I have found are the Revised Standard Version (RSV - 1952), the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV - 1989), and the English Standard Version (ESV - 2001). But each has one word different from the version on Rob's little brass plate. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revised_Standard_Version#Alterations_in_1962_printings[/URL] I assume from its size that it was meant to be carried in a wallet or pocket, like a business card. It does not appear to have any holes that would indicate it was attached to something.[/QUOTE]
