People have various opinions about Bible translations. Some people tease about translations like the ESV, NKJV, and KJV as having "Yoda speak" because the wording can be out of order at times. This video shows that reverse word order can be a great literary device to provide greater beauty and memorability in communication. One example of this is seen in John F. Kennedy's famous line "ask not what your country can do for you."
