Don't forget, the phrasing and structure is (depending on your particular favored translation) at least originally the product of Elizabethan England. I
suspect that the original Hebrew/Aramaic/Whatever is somewhat more euphonious, not to mention the cultural matrix of the intended listener probably makes a
difference.
