WORD Research this...Job 14
- 1 Man, that is born of a woman, Is of few days, and full of trouble.
- 2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
- 3 And dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one, And bringest me into judgment with thee?
- 4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
- 5 Seeing his days are determined, The number of his months is with thee, And thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
- 6 Look away from him, that he may rest, Till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
- 7 For there is hope of a tree, If it be cut down, that it will sprout again, And that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
- 8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, And the stock thereof die in the ground;
- 9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, And put forth boughs like a plant.
- 10 But man dieth, and is laid low: Yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
- 11 Asthe waters fail from the sea, And the river wasteth and drieth up;
- 12 So man lieth down and riseth not: Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, Nor be roused out of their sleep.
- 13 Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, That thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, That thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
- 14 If a man die, shall he liveagain? All the days of my warfare would I wait, Till my release should come.
- 15 Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee: Thou wouldest have a desire to the work of thy hands.
- 16 But now thou numberest my steps: Dost thou not watch over my sin?
- 17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, And thou fastenest up mine iniquity.
- 18 But the mountain falling cometh to nought; And the rock is removed out of its place;
- 19 The waters wear the stones; The overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth: So thou destroyest the hope of man.
- 20 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth; Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
- 21 His sons come to honor, and he knoweth it not; And they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
- 22 But his flesh upon him hath pain, And his soul within him mourneth.

American Standard Version (asv - 2)
2021-02-18English (en)
The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.
The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.
While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.
Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.- Encoding: UTF-8

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.
