Interesting. I usually pay attention mostly at ESV, or NASB when comparing with KJV. Thanks for pointing it out I will be looking out for it 
I am just honest about the original texts and say clearly that at this point we do not have any of the original texts. And then I say that God has used mankind to preserve and to translate those originals into many good translations in many different languages. In English we have the KJV, the ESV, the NASB, the NIV (has some issues in my opinion), and I know Luther's German translation is a good one. Besides that there are other good English translations and others in languages that I am not qualified to judge!
You refuse to admit the truth. Instead you add to inspiration and add to what God revealed by making the KJV equal to the original inspired text.

Hebrews 11:5
“By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.”
God preserve Enoch and did not see death, decay. He used translation. This kind of translation pleases God. Likewise, the value of translation is not to lose death or decay of the 'inspired' words of God. No to adding of what has already been revealed. Translation is not really adding bur rather to turn from one language into another retaining the sense. it is transporting the same. So what basically what you know of the KJV added to the original language? Do we have that in the KJV? Thanks

Umm, isn't that is a 'basic understanding' of translation? Translation simply means removal, as applied it is the removal of the original even into a glorious higher heavenly ground and yup, I wou like to borrow some of Agnela said "My Greek professor used to say communication is the key to reading the Bible, so the receiving language, that is English, is more important than the sending language, which are Greek and Hebrew.".
Where the context is clearly and unequivocally 'dreams', it is reasonable to conclude that the statement, "Interpretations belong to God" means specifically, 'interpretations of dreams'.
A simple illustration will trump your view: the JW's have one interpretation of the nature of Jesus; Christians have another, and Mormons have a third. If "all interpretations belong to God" then how can you account for the contradictory interpretations among Bible readers?

It is reasonable to conclude that interpretations period belong to God because the verse says that, it doesn’t say interpretations of dreams belong to God and that’s why JW’s and Mormons and denominational Christians have contradictory interpretations.
Regardless as to how much you want those words to pertain only to dreams, the words themselves, don’t.
