WORD Research this...Job 24
- 1 Why are times not laid up by the Almighty? And why do not they that know him see his days?
- 2 There are that remove the landmarks; They violently take away flocks, and feed them.
- 3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless; They take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
- 4 They turn the needy out of the way: The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
- 5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert They go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food; The wildernessyieldeththem bread for their children.
- 6 They cut their provender in the field; And they glean the vintage of the wicked.
- 7 They lie all night naked without clothing, And have no covering in the cold.
- 8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, And embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
- 9 There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast, And take a pledge of the poor;
- 10 So thatthey go about naked without clothing, And being hungry they carry the sheaves.
- 11 They make oil within the walls of these men; They treadtheirwinepresses, and suffer thirst.
- 12 From out of the populous city men groan, And the soul of the wounded crieth out: Yet God regardeth not the folly.
- 13 These are of them that rebel against the light; They know not the ways thereof, Nor abide in the paths thereof.
- 14 The murderer riseth with the light; He killeth the poor and needy; And in the night he is as a thief.
- 15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, Saying, No eye shall see me: And he disguiseth his face.
- 16 In the dark they dig through houses: They shut themselves up in the day-time; They know not the light.
- 17 For the morning is to all of them as thick darkness; For they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
- 18 Swiftly theypass awayupon the face of the waters; Their portion is cursed in the earth: They turn not into the way of the vineyards.
- 19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: So dothSheolthose thathave sinned.
- 20 The womb shall forget him; The worm shall feed sweetly on him; He shall be no more remembered; And unrighteousness shall be broken as a tree.
- 21 He devoureth the barren that beareth not, And doeth not good to the widow.
- 22 YetGod preserveth the mighty by his power: He riseth up that hath no assurance of life.
- 23 God giveth them to be in security, and they rest thereon; And his eyes are upon their ways.
- 24 They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone; Yea, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, And are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.
- 25 And if it be not so now, who will prove me a liar, And make my speech nothing worth?

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.
