There are almost certainly hundreds of publishers of the King James Bible in the world today and thousands of editions, and a lot of them are likely to have wildly varying paginations and font sizes, rendering citing the Bible by fucking PAGE NUMBER to be useless.
Case in point, as a former Christian and current pack rat, I have several old Bibles lying around the house, and here are the results I've got:
- Confirmation Bible (KJV, Thomas Nelson): Only has 636 pages.
- Grade School Bible (NIV): Jonah 1:1-2:3
- High School Bible (ASV): Joel 4:9-21
- Gideon Bible (KNJV): 1 Corinthians 3:10-4:15
- Mum's Living Bible: Mark 12:35-13:11
- Mum's Bible (KJV, Zondervan): Accounting for the break in pagination between the Old and New Testament, Page 1117 has: questions 20-9 in an FAQ, largely focusing on early publications of the Bible in the 16th century.
I also have an old Bible (KJV) that's apparently something I got for my Baptism, but I can't find it at the moment. Maybe if I find it, I'll find a different set of verses.
While I didn't read too closely these verses, it's safe to assume that none of these contain secret cures for Diabetes.
The point is that the writer is just a bull shit artist otherwise he would have cited the specific chapter and verse as is customary. He's selling a scam for $49. Serious people don't cite biblical references by page numbers. So as soon as you read the page number you should realize that it's just pitiful BS.

Yeah, it was clear from the get-go that he was a bullshit artist. I was just illustrating how utterly useless citing the Bible by page numbers was. What kind of jackass cites The Bible by goddam PAGE NUMBERS?

I've never checked more copies of the KJV 1611 than the one I have, but I would have assumed all reproductions/editions of the KJV 1611 in a 'standard hard cover book size' would have identical pagination.
I don't think I would have assumed that about any other bible version except maybe the Catholic (abomination) on the theory they'd be as anal retentive about their bible as the KJV people I assumed were but turned out not to be.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Yeah, as a bibliophile who has come to specialise in hardcover, I can say there isn't exactly a single "standard hard cover book size." In fact, I usually set the books in my reading queue aside, stacked in order of increasing size. (Width and Length), and it's actually quite rare for two to be the exact same size. A lot of them get close, especially if they're from the same time and publisher, but there's a LOT of variation, even if a lot of it is subtle. Hell, virtually any bookstore worth its salt (especially new bookstores) will have some an entire section devoted to various editions of the Bible, coming in all shapes and sizes. And given that the KJV is public domain, and can thus be published by any schmuck with access to a printing press without legal repercussions, there's sure to be a lot of them.

Silly me assuming a world filled with 'slacker' christians would nevertheless have some hard core OCD types tucked away printing KJV 1611s identical to the prototype, lest God get even more sand in his vagina.

The Catholic bible is a lot better than the Protestant bible. It has more secular books and a lot more stories.

Why would I be kidding? No I don't know, why would I? That's what is being provided. An additional google search says it's daniel 1:8-16.
Fine. It is found in the book of daniel. There, they say it's in the bible. Are they lying?
Try reading it and find out.
