Many common English sayings have their origins in the King James Bible.
English speaking people have quoted the King James Bible for generations, whether they know it or not, and whether they intended to or not.
This is a small list of sayings I found in the King James Bible in my regular
reading. I am sure there must be more that I haven't yet noticed.
