Verse Flow Discrepancy In Zechariah Chapter 4 (Good News Bible) by Obinoscopy(m): 3:28pm On Feb 16, 2020
Hi,

I noticed that there was a numbering discrepancy in Zechariah Chapter 4 in the Good News Bible. Specifically, I noticed that after verse 5 it goes straight to verse 10b. Then after verse 14 it goes back to verse 6.

I also noticed that this discrepancy is not in other Bible versions. However I noticed that message in Chapter 4 seemed more easier to understand in the Good News Bible than other versions due to this rearrangement of the verses.

Can anyone explain the reason for the arrangement? And the reason why other Bible versions chose not to rearrange?

One need to check the transcript to confirm of there is rearrangement of verses

I think they tried to rearrange to summerize and make General sense of the contex

Yeah I think so too. Its very confusing if you read that chapter with King James Bible or other Bible.
