Part 3 of "In Psalm 12:6-7" Series: the NET takes out "preserve" (KJB) from Psalm 12:6-7
Psalm 12:6-7 KJB
[6] The words of the LORD are pure words: As silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
[7] Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, Thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.β

Psalms 12:6-7 NET
[6] The Lordβs words are absolutely reliable. They are as untainted as silver purified in a furnace on the ground, where it is thoroughly refined.
[7] You, Lord, will protect them; you will continually shelter each one from these evil people,βπ°
By replacing the important "preserve" (KJB) with the word "shelter" (NET), the NET attacks, casts unbiblical doubt on, and degrades the biblical doctrine of the preservation of God's words.
Preserve means to keep, uphold, and save from corruption forever.
Shelter means to cover or defend from injury or violence.
Ae per the KJB, and not the NET, God promised to preserve, not shelter, His inspired words forever!
Bonus: In Psalm 12:6-7, if God's words were "sheltered" (NET) instead of "preserved" (KJB), then "shelter" implies that God's words are covered/buried in the ground, and thus the NET's version of Psalm 12:6-7 would prevent of mankind today, almost 2,000 years after Jesus acension to Heaven, from accessing and reading God's words!?π°
As per the KJB in Psalm 12:6-7, God correctly did and forever does "preserve", not "shelter" (NET), His words for us to read.
In addition, in Psalm 12:7, the KJB shows and verifies that God preserves "His words"/"them" forever. The KJB keeps the word "them", which refers back to "the words of the LORD" in Psalm 12:6 KJB, but the NET first uses the word "them" before replacing "them" with an unspecific "each one" that does not refer to what was "sheltered".
By adding "each one" of instead of KJB, the NET destroys the cross reference (of God's words shalt be preserved forever) between Psalm 12:7 and Psalm 12:6 and leaves it up to the reader to vainly interpret what is being sheltered or preserved. And as per 2 Peter 1:20-21, the Scriptures [God's Word] are not of man's private interpretation, yet the NET unbiblically gives room for the reader to insert their own definition of what is the NET's vague "each one".
According to the NET, it sadly implies God did not preserve his words forever, contrary to Psalm 12:6-7. It even implies God's words are just sheltered, implying a merely hidden existence of God hiding his words away from people.
If you have the NET, discard the NET and get and read the KJB instead.
