Are there King James Bible equivalents in other western languages in terms of pure literary influence? So many KJV phrases made their way into English written works that it's kind of a weird experience to actually read the thing and see all those lines and references pop up one after the other. Do other languages have anything like this? Is there a French KJV that got quoted and re-quoted by French writers, for example?

The Reina Valera 1602 is supposed to be the Spanish equivalent.
