That will depend on what Greek and Hebrew manuscripts you’re reading, but most of them agree with the King James. Only a few of them don’t, and those manuscripts are so full of errors they won’t agree with anything.

Having read several of the MSS and worked on the DSS (Ruth), um...no.
The DSS and several of the new MSS discoveries in the past 150 years, as well as advancements in linguistic analysis show that the KJV was full of errors (mostly of translation but also a few grammatical errors.
Hence the new translations from the MSS starting in the 1950’s rather than revisions or reworkings of the KJV which was common prior to that (RV, RSV, ESV, ASV, etc).
Like I said, I love the KJV for memorization and it’s poetic qualities, but as far as accuracy, it isn’t high on the list, although I do know it still has it’s defenders (mostly Mormons and Independent Fundamentalist Baptists - I am neither).
With NOTHING???
Perhaps they are using a copy of the Iliad!
