WORD Research this...Job 7
- 1 Is there not an appointed time to man on earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?
- 2 As a servant earnestly desires the shadow, and as an hireling looks for the reward of his work:
- 3 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
- 4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro to the dawning of the day.
- 5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.
- 6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.
- 7 O remember that my life is wind: my eye shall no more see good.
- 8 The eye of him that has seen me shall see me no more: your eyes are on me, and I am not.
- 9 As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away: so he that goes down to the grave shall come up no more.
- 10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
- 11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
- 12 Am I a sea, or a whale, that you set a watch over me?
- 13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaints;
- 14 Then you scare me with dreams, and terrify me through visions:
- 15 So that my soul chooses strangling, and death rather than my life.
- 16 I loathe it; I would not live always: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
- 17 What is man, that you should magnify him? and that you should set your heart on him?
- 18 And that you should visit him every morning, and try him every moment?
- 19 How long will you not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
- 20 I have sinned; what shall I do to you, O you preserver of men? why have you set me as a mark against you, so that I am a burden to myself?
- 21 And why do you not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and you shall seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.

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.
