    Isaiah 48
    •   Hear you this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
    •   For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves on the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.
    •   I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
    •   Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow brass;
    •   I have even from the beginning declared it to you; before it came to pass I showed it you: lest you should say, My idol has done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, has commanded them.
    •   You have heard, see all this; and will not you declare it? I have showed you new things from this time, even hidden things, and you did not know them.
    •   They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when you heard them not; lest you should say, Behold, I knew them.
    •   Yes, you heard not; yes, you knew not; yes, from that time that your ear was not opened: for I knew that you would deal very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.
    •   For my name's sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I refrain for you, that I cut you not off.
    • 10   Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
    • 11   For my own sake, even for my own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory to another.
    • 12   Listen to me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
    • 13   My hand also has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spanned the heavens: when I call to them, they stand up together.
    • 14   All you, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them has declared these things? The LORD has loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
    • 15   I, even I, have spoken; yes, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
    • 16   Come you near to me, hear you this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, has sent me.
    • 17   Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD your God which teaches you to profit, which leads you by the way that you should go.
    • 18   O that you had listened to my commandments! then had your peace been as a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea:
    • 19   Your seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of your bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
    • 20   Go you forth of Babylon, flee you from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare you, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say you, The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob.
    • 21   And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he split the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
    • 22   There is no peace, says the LORD, to the wicked.
    •   Hear you this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
    •   For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves on the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.
    •   I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
    •   Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow brass;
    •   I have even from the beginning declared it to you; before it came to pass I showed it you: lest you should say, My idol has done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, has commanded them.
    •   You have heard, see all this; and will not you declare it? I have showed you new things from this time, even hidden things, and you did not know them.
    •   They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when you heard them not; lest you should say, Behold, I knew them.
    •   Yes, you heard not; yes, you knew not; yes, from that time that your ear was not opened: for I knew that you would deal very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.
    •   For my name’s sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I refrain for you, that I cut you not off.
    • 10   Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
    • 11   For my own sake, even for my own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory to another.
    • 12   Listen to me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.

  • American King James Version (akjv - 2.1)

    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.
