I figure I should own a copy of the bible, but I don't know

NABRE, REV, or Douay Rheims

What are you trying to get out of reading the Bible and what is your reading level.
If all you care about is prose and literary influence read KJV. Otherwise, the NABRE is a really great study bible that provides annotations on locations, people, historical context that without makes the Bible confusing.

King James Norton critical edition

Start by learning Hebrew and reading the Torah.

Then move on to Aramaic and Greek.

Pic related if you want to keep things simple. Everyone has their personal preference and you'll probably be recommended dozens of different versions in this thread.

OP here, based on this image it looks like I'm looking for KJV or NABRE. Thanks guys!

The Knox translation is a good choice. It's a very literary translation. He's also one of the only translators who tries to keep the acrostic style of Psalm 119.

The Message duuhhhh

King James Version. All else is shit.

King James Version has low intelligibility? Is this a joke? People say this all the time, but I think they say that without having read it. It's really not difficult English. People just fall for the "o wow it's older than Victorian so it must be hard to read" shit.

From the way you phrased that you don't sound very interested in owning a copy of the bible desu.
