The ESV is a reformed Bible.
The general editor was J.I. Packer. It is endorsed by him and John Piper, as well as many other covenant theologists and reformed pastors
Strangely though, the god of the ESV has no omnipotence, but sits around wondering whether things will happen (things he supposedly decreed).
Jer 3:6 The LORD said to me in the days of King Josiah: "Have you seen what she did, that faithless one, Israel, how she went up on every high hill and under every green tree, and there played the whore?
Jer 3:7 And I thought, 'After she has done all this she will return to me,' but she did not return, and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
Here, the god of the ESV just sits around thinking that Israel might return after they have their "fun". They don't. God gets mad.
A similar thing happens in the KJB, except God spends seven verses calling them back to him first, before He gets fed up.
