    Indeed it is, many people consider much of it to be some of the greatest poetry in the English language.

    It's not the most accurate translation - but that's a different story altogether.

    Adam Nicolson has written a fascinating history of how the KJV was produced, called 'Power and Glory' (the US title was 'God's Secretaries').

    I kinda like the NIV


    Exodus 23:9 (New International Version)

    9 "Do not oppress an alien; you yourselves know how it feels to be aliens, because you were aliens in Egypt.


    V


    Exodus 23:9 (King James Version)

    9Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
