WORD Research this...Psalms 49
- 1 Hear this, all you people; give ear, all you inhabitants of the world:
- 2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
- 3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
- 4 I will incline my ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying on the harp.
- 5 Why should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
- 6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
- 7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
- 8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceases for ever:)
- 9 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
- 10 For he sees that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
- 11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
- 12 Nevertheless man being in honor stays not: he is like the beasts that perish.
- 13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
- 14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
- 15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
- 16 Be not you afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
- 17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
- 18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise you, when you do well to yourself.
- 19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
- 20 Man that is in honor, and understands not, is like the beasts that perish.

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.
