    John,

    Not sure what you mean. Dictionaries are not written for specific versions of the Bible. Likewise I don't know of any way they support one version over another.

    If you want any dictionary's Bible references to go to the NIV then you need to prioritize the NIV as your top priority Bible in your Library. After you do that when you hover your mouse over a Bible reference in a dictionary it will show that verse in the NIV. If you click on the reference it will jump to the reference in the NIV. Is this what you wanted to know?

    Maybe John is thinking along the lines of a dictionary that is composed of the translators' word choices in a particular version. I don't know if those exist for the NIV and ESV. The older, public domain dictionaries would obviously be populated with KJV word choices.

    There's the New International Bible Dictionary (Zondervan). I don't know if one has been done for the ESV yet.

    I just was wandering if any bibles do like this:
