what about the ESV?

The ESV removes the GODHEAD

“who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,”

Who was in the firey furnace?

Gender confusion

In spite of James Dobson’s intention to have a version to combat the gender neutral TNIV, the ESV does its contributes its share of gender bending.  The word “man, men” is “neutered” in the ESV 968 times. The masculine pronoun, “he, him, his” is neutered 1832 times.  The new-age, evolutionist, neuter buzz-word “human” is employed 63 times

The ESV completely removes the following 17 verses:
