Tombstone argument...

Would it be okay to take the second half of Proverbs 16:20 (KJV) and write on a tombstone, "Who so trusteth in the Lord, happy is she." Notice that at the beginning "who so" is written as two words instead of one as it is in the King James Version of the Bible.

If your problem is with "she", you might look at a newer translation; there are several that are gender-neutral.

Whoso just means 'whoever'. But 'who so' in two words doesn't have the meaning of 'whoever', which is what is needed for this quote.
