Revisions
The ESV underwent a minor revision in 2007. The publisher chose not to identify the updated text as a second or revised edition. It was intended to replace the original ESV under the original name. Another edition which changed about 500 words focused on grammar, consistency and clarity. The most notable verse change was "wounded for our transgressions" to "pierced for our transgressions" in Isaiah 53:5, matching the NASB rendering. This edition was issued in April 2011. The 2007 edition has been gradually phased out in its favor.

Famous quotes containing the word revisions:
“The lore of our fathers is a fabric of sentences. In our hands it develops and changes, through more or less arbitrary and deliberate revisions and additions of our own, more or less directly occasioned by the continuing stimulation of our sense organs. It is a pale gray lore, black with fact and white with convention. But I have found no substantial reasons for concluding that there are any quite black threads in it, or any white ones.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
