WORD Research this...Job 12
- 1 And Job answered and said,
- 2 No doubt but you are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
- 3 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yes, who knows not such things as these?
- 4 I am as one mocked of his neighbor, who calls on God, and he answers him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
- 5 He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
- 6 The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God brings abundantly.
- 7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach you; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell you:
- 8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach you: and the fishes of the sea shall declare to you.
- 9 Who knows not in all these that the hand of the LORD has worked this?
- 10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
- 11 Does not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
- 12 With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
- 13 With him is wisdom and strength, he has counsel and understanding.
- 14 Behold, he breaks down, and it cannot be built again: he shuts up a man, and there can be no opening.
- 15 Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up: also he sends them out, and they overturn the earth.
- 16 With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
- 17 He leads counsellors away spoiled, and makes the judges fools.
- 18 He looses the bond of kings, and girds their loins with a girdle.
- 19 He leads princes away spoiled, and overthrows the mighty.
- 20 He removes away the speech of the trusty, and takes away the understanding of the aged.
- 21 He pours contempt on princes, and weakens the strength of the mighty.
- 22 He discovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.
- 23 He increases the nations, and destroys them: he enlarges the nations, and straitens them again.
- 24 He takes away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
- 25 They grope in the dark without light, and he makes them to stagger like a drunken man.

American King James Version (akjv - 2.1)
2023-12-27English (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.
