WORD Research this...Job 28
- 1 Surely there is a mine for silver, And a place for gold which they refine.
- 2 Iron is taken out of the earth, And copper is molten out of the stone.
- 3 Man setteth an end to darkness, And searcheth out, to the furthest bound, The stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.
- 4 He breaketh open a shaft away from where men sojourn; They are forgotten of the foot; They hang afar from men, they swing to and fro.
- 5 As for the earth, out of it cometh bread; And underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.
- 6 The stones thereof are the place of sapphires, And it hath dust of gold.
- 7 That path no bird of prey knoweth, Neither hath the falcon’s eye seen it:
- 8 The proud beasts have not trodden it, Nor hath the fierce lion passed thereby.
- 9 He putteth forth his hand upon the flinty rock; He overturneth the mountains by the roots.
- 10 He cutteth out channels among the rocks; And his eye seeth every precious thing.
- 11 He bindeth the streams that they trickle not; And the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
- 12 But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?
- 13 Man knoweth not the price thereof; Neither is it found in the land of the living.
- 14 The deep saith, It is not in me; And the sea saith, It is not with me.
- 15 It cannot be gotten for gold, Neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
- 16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, With the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
- 17 Gold and glass cannot equal it, Neither shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
- 18 No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal: Yea, the price of wisdom is above rubies.
- 19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, Neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
- 20 Whence then cometh wisdom? And where is the place of understanding?
- 21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, And kept close from the birds of the heavens.
- 22 Destruction and Death say, We have heard a rumor thereof with our ears.
- 23 God understandeth the way thereof, And he knoweth the place thereof.
- 24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, And seeth under the whole heaven;
- 25 To make a weight for the wind: Yea, he meteth out the waters by measure.
- 26 When he made a decree for the rain, And a way for the lightning of the thunder;
- 27 Then did he see it, and declare it; He established it, yea, and searched it out.
- 28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.

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.
