WORD Research this...Job 21
- 1 Then Job answered and said,
- 2 Hear diligently my speech; And let this be your consolations.
- 3 Suffer me, and I also will speak; And after that I have spoken, mock on.
- 4 As for me, is my complaint to man? And why should I not be impatient?
- 5 Mark me, and be astonished, And lay your hand upon your mouth.
- 6 Even when I remember I am troubled, And horror taketh hold on my flesh.
- 7 Wherefore do the wicked live, Become old, yea, wax mighty in power?
- 8 Their seed is established with them in their sight, And their offspring before their eyes.
- 9 Their houses are safe from fear, Neither is the rod of God upon them.
- 10 Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; Their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
- 11 They send forth their little ones like a flock, And their children dance.
- 12 They sing to the timbrel and harp, And rejoice at the sound of the pipe.
- 13 They spend their days in prosperity, And in a moment they go down to Sheol.
- 14 And they say unto God, Depart from us; For we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
- 15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
- 16 Lo, their prosperity is not in their hand: The counsel of the wicked is far from me.
- 17 How oft is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out? That their calamity cometh upon them? ThatGod distributeth sorrows in his anger?
- 18 That they are as stubble before the wind, And as chaff that the storm carrieth away?
- 19 Ye say, God layeth up his iniquity for his children. Let him recompense it unto himself, that he may know it:
- 20 Let his own eyes see his destruction, And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
- 21 For what careth he for his house after him, When the number of his months is cut off?
- 22 Shall any teach God knowledge, Seeing he judgeth those that are high?
- 23 One dieth in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and quiet:
- 24 His pails are full of milk, And the marrow of his bones is moistened.
- 25 And another dieth in bitterness of soul, And never tasteth of good.
- 26 They lie down alike in the dust, And the worm covereth them.
- 27 Behold, I know your thoughts, And the devices wherewith ye would wrong me.
- 28 For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? And where is the tent wherein the wicked dwelt?
- 29 Have ye not asked wayfaring men? And do ye not know their evidences,
- 30 That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity? That they are led forth to the day of wrath?
- 31 Who shall declare his way to his face? And who shall repay him what he hath done?
- 32 Yet shall he be borne to the grave, And men shall keep watch over the tomb.
- 33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, And all men shall draw after him, As there were innumerable before him.
- 34 How then comfort ye me in vain, Seeing in your answers there remaineth only falsehood?

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.
