WORD Research this...Job 20
- 1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
- 2 Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, Even by reason of my haste that is in me.
- 3 I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame; And the spirit of my understanding answereth me.
- 4 Knowest thou notthis of old time, Since man was placed upon earth,
- 5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless but for a moment?
- 6 Though his height mount up to the heavens, And his head reach unto the clouds;
- 7 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: They that have seen him shall say, Where is he?
- 8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: Yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
- 9 The eye which saw him shall see him no more; Neither shall his place any more behold him.
- 10 His children shall seek the favor of the poor, And his hands shall give back his wealth.
- 11 His bones are full of his youth, But it 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 will not let it go, But keep it still within his mouth;
- 14 Yet his food in his bowels is turned, It is the gall of asps within him.
- 15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again; God will 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 look upon the rivers, The flowing streams of honey and butter.
- 18 That which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down; According to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice.
- 19 For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor; He hath violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.
- 20 Because he knew no quietness within him, He shall not save aught of that wherein he delighteth.
- 21 There was nothing left that he devoured not; Therefore his prosperity shall not endure.
- 22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: The hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him.
- 23 When he is about to fill his belly, Godwill cast the fierceness of his wrath upon him, And will rain it upon him while he is eating.
- 24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, And the bow of brass shall strike him through.
- 25 He draweth it forth, and it cometh out of his body; Yea, the glittering point cometh out of his gall: Terrors are upon him.
- 26 All darkness is laid up for his treasures: A fire not blown by man shall devour him; It shall consume that which is left in his tent.
- 27 The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, And the earth shall rise up against him.
- 28 The increase of his house shall depart; His goodsshall flow away in the day of his wrath.
- 29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, And the heritage appointed unto him by God.

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.
