Early Modern English - WikipediaIf the KJV is easy to read and other versions are not, you must be a native Old English speaKer. I find the version so difficult because it is like reading a foreign language sometimes (word order and words that do not exist anywhere else screw me up). There is no way someone can be a native modern English speaker and not have a much easier time reading the KJV.
This page says "Most modern readers of English can understand texts written in the late phase of Early Modern English, such as the King James Bible and the works of William Shakespeare, and they have greatly influenced Modern English."
