In Genesis 1:2, the RV1885 changes "without form" to "waste", and here's why the RV's 1885 revision/change attacks the character of God.
Genesis 1:2 KJB (King James Bible)
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; ...β

Genesis 1:2 RV 1885 (Revised Version 1885)
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was waste and void; ...

In the KJB, the words "the earth was without form" show that the earth was not formed as per Genesis 1:2. However, the word "waste" in the RV 1885's words of "the earth was waste" means to be ruined or to be used carelessly with no purpose. Thus, the RV 1885 (Revised Version 1885) makes God look like a carless, destructive Creator that made and laid waste to/ruined/destroyed the earth before suddenly making the earth again in the beginning in Genesis 1:1. Thus, the Revised Version 1885 is lying, and the King James Bible is correct as shown below.
Also, the RV 1885βs words [in Genesis 1:2 of Revised Version 1885] of βAnd the earth was wasteβ goes against Isaiah 45:18βs words shows that God created the earth not in vain and thus defeats the RV 1885βs above words because if God wasted the earth as per the faulty, lying RV 1885βs words of Genesis 1:2, then God would created the earth in vain, which is unbiblical as God called everything he made as very good:
Isaiah 45:18 KJB
For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
Genesis 1:31 KJB
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
