prez´ent - 51 : The strict meaning is of course "at the present moment," "instantly," and the modern force "after a short interval" is due simply to the procrastinating habits of mankind; hence, the Revised Version (British and American) modifications of the King James Version use of the word into "immediately" ( Matthew 21:19 ), "even now" (Matthew 26:53 ), and "forthwith" (Philippians 2:23 ). In Proverbs 12:16 , the uncertainty of the meaning (margin "openly," Hebrew "in the day") has led to the retention of the King James Version word.
