Wright argues that the Book of Mormon’s Isaiah passages depend on the KJV rather than an independent ancient text. He traces their wording, revisions to italicized words, retained translation errors, and differences from Hebrew, and argues that the variants are best understood as revisions of the English Bible.

the BM Isaiah is a revision of KJV and not a translation of an ancient document.
