    I was looking at the Book of Canticles, chapter 2, I didn't know what Canticles 2:15 meant, wonderful, there was a footnote.
    You want to share, throw out the KJV Bible when you see all the changes to it. Look at the difference, rather telling, did the translators realize?

    Song of Solomon 2:15
    King James Version (KJV)
    15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes

    Douay-Rheims
    Catch us the little foxes that destroy the vines: for our vineyard hath flourished.

    [15] Catch us the little foxes: Christ commands his pastors to catch false teachers, by holding forth their fallacy and erroneous doctrine, which like foxes would bite and destroy the vines.
