Alright I have looked in my Bible and I honestly can't find any unicorn or cockatrice. Is this just something in the King James Bible? Where is it?

Sorry but my Bible says "Do you not know that the runners in the stadium all run in the race, but only one wins the prize? Run as to win. 1 Corinthians 9:24

Not there either. "Wild oxen shall be struck down with fatlings and bullocks with bulls; Their land shall be soaked with blood, and their earth greasy with fat." Isaiah 34:7

There is the problem ...I only read the New American Bible and the New Revised Standard for Catholics.

It doesn't. It originated as a funny tale about the animals that didn't get on Noah's ark. Not to be takes seriously.
Oops, no, I'm wrong, I guess it's mentioned in the King James' Verison. I never read that one, as they took a lot of liberties in the translations.

It shouldn't matter which Bible you choose to look for it in since you claim that the Bible is "the word of God" then it should make no difference.
"And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness." (Isaiah 34:7)
To your response: You are forgetting the first part. Or as you Christians would say when non Christians quote the Bible. "You are taking it out of context". As you can see, there are differences in the different versions of the bible, which are the effects of it being translated hundreds and hundreds of times with people putting it in their own words and taking stuff out whenever they like. Obviously it is an edited book so, how can you be so sure as to which one if any is true? As you can see, you cannot.

"Unicorns"

Only in KJV. other translations give more accurate renderings to these words.
