Zechariah 8:16-17 LITV
(16) These are the things that you shall do. Let each man speak the truth with his neighbor. Judge with truth and justice for peace in your gates, (17) and let each devise no evil in your heart against his neighbor, and do not love a false oath. For all these I hate, says Jehovah.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
