WORD Research this...Job 20
- 1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
- 2 Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.
- 3 I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causes me to answer.
- 4 Know you not this of old, since man was placed on earth,
- 5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
- 6 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds;
- 7 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
- 8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yes, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
- 9 The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
- 10 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
- 11 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
- 12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
- 13 Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
- 14 Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
- 15 He has swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
- 16 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.
- 17 He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
- 18 That which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.
- 19 Because he has oppressed and has forsaken the poor; because he has violently taken away an house which he built not;
- 20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.
- 21 There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
- 22 In the fullness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come on him.
- 23 When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath on him, and shall rain it on him while he is eating.
- 24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.
- 25 It is drawn, and comes out of the body; yes, the glittering sword comes out of his gall: terrors are on him.
- 26 All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.
- 27 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.
- 28 The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
- 29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed to him by God.

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.
