I'm not to judge what is wrong or right. All I know is that the bible does not put it that way and it should not be used as if it is like that in the bible.

Well I personally think emphasis should be on the meaning conveyed, rather than individual words.

As such I don't think the addition of 'sweet' in this instance is such a big deal.

it might interest u to know that the Bible was not written in English, and so translators occasionally had to add some words or phrases to make the meaning clearer.
