FYI. I just gathered some statistics by counting the occurrences of question marks and exclamations marks in various English Bible versions.
Here are the results: (ordered on the ! ) Version Count (?) Count(!) KJV 3297 313 RV1885 3221 363 ASV 3220 386 Darby 3222 941 NASB 3123 1241 NHEB 3238 1439 WEB 3245 1468 ESV2011 3130 1701 ESV2001 3132 1706 NIV 3247 1733 NKJV 3245 1807 LEB 3108 2841 NET 2985 5236 NB. If the columns don't align in your email client, copy the lines into Excel. The huge variation in the number of exclamations marks reflects the changes in culture. The NET Bible is really out on a limb with such an excessive number. The number of question marks shows much less variation between versions. That's to be expected. Deciding whether something is a question is more straightforward.
