    Isaiah 42
    •   Behold my servant, whom I uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delights; I have put my spirit on him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
    •   He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
    •   A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment to truth.
    •   He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
    •   Thus says God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which comes out of it; he that gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
    •   I the LORD have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and give you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
    •   To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
    •   I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
    •   Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
    • 10   Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, you that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
    • 11   Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar does inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
    • 12   Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
    • 13   The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yes, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.
    • 14   I have long time held my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.
    • 15   I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
    • 16   And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do to them, and not forsake them.
    • 17   They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, You are our gods.
    • 18   Hear, you deaf; and look, you blind, that you may see.
    • 19   Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD's servant?
    • 20   Seeing many things, but you observe not; opening the ears, but he hears not.
    • 21   The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honorable.
    • 22   But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivers; for a spoil, and none says, Restore.
    • 23   Who among you will give ear to this? who will listen and hear for the time to come?
    • 24   Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient to his law.
    • 25   Therefore he has poured on him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it has set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
    •   Behold my servant, whom I uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delights; I have put my spirit on him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
    •   He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
    •   A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment to truth.
    •   He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
    •   Thus says God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which comes out of it; he that gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
    •   I the LORD have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and give you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
    •   To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
    •   I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
    •   Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

  • American King James Version (akjv - 2.1)

    English (en)

    American King James Version
    Produced by Stone Engelbrite

    This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.

    I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.

Basic Hash Usage Explained

At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.

We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.

Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.

Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.

Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.

The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.

We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
