WORD Research this...Job 3
- 1 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
- 2 And Job answered and said:
- 3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, And the night which said, There is a man-child conceived.
- 4 Let that day be darkness; Let not God from above seek for it, Neither let the light shine upon it.
- 5 Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let all that maketh black the day terrify it.
- 6 As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it: Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; Let it not come into the number of the months.
- 7 Lo, let that night be barren; Let no joyful voice come therein.
- 8 Let them curse it that curse the day, Who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
- 9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark: Let it look for light, but have none; Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning:
- 10 Because it shut not up the doors of mymother’swomb, Nor hid trouble from mine eyes.
- 11 Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me?
- 12 Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breasts, that I should suck?
- 13 For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest,
- 14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves;
- 15 Or with princes that had gold, Who filled their houses with silver:
- 16 Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants that never saw light.
- 17 There the wicked cease from troubling; And there the weary are at rest.
- 18 There the prisoners are at ease together; They hear not the voice of the taskmaster.
- 19 The small and the great are there: And the servant is free from his master.
- 20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, And life unto the bitter in soul;
- 21 Who long for death, but it cometh not, And dig for it more than for hid treasures;
- 22 Who rejoice exceedingly, And are glad, when they can find the grave?
- 23 Why is light givento a man whose way is hid, And whom God hath hedged in?
- 24 For my sighing cometh before I eat, And my groanings are poured out like water.
- 25 For the thing which I fear cometh upon me, And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me.
- 26 I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; But trouble cometh.

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.
