"Given by inspiration" is the method that God used to direct the words to be written. The words are God's Words.
The additional words of Jeremiah's second original were added messages, not modification of the first original that was destroyed by the king.

It's the definition of the word, based on what the Bible says. Inspiration is God's supernatural understanding on a person, not words or paper. To extend it, a pastor that is truly preaching under the power of the Holy Spirit can be said to be inspired.
You'll never find where words are inspired; the men who speak or write them are those that are under inspiration. By extrapolation, if one is to contend that the King James Bible is Scripture, then according to the Bible it was given by inspiration, and by the definition of inspiration, the translators were influenced of God to translate and compile the King James Bible. It's really not that difficult to accept once the Biblical definition of inspiration is understood.
