No single book has given English more everyday phrases

Sayings like 'a drop in the bucket,' 'the powers that be,' and 'a fly in the ointment' all trace back to the 1611 King James Bible. Many of these phrases existed in earlier English translations, but it was the King James Version's wide reach and lasting popularity that cemented them permanently into everyday English.
