Isaiah 38:19

KJV

The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

NIV

The living, the living—they praise you, as I am doing today; parents tell their children about your faithfulness.

NIV ESV NASB NLT CSB AMP HCSB GNT CEB RSV NRSV NET MSG NWT

God’s truth is his word (John 17:17), and in the KJV, the father is given an important responsibility: to teach his children the word of God. By changing “thy truth” to “your faithfulness,” modern versions no longer convict fathers to teach their kids the Bible. Versions like the NIV take it a step further; by using gender neutral language (“parents”) the role of the father as head of the house is catastrophically diminished.
