WORD Research this...Job 30
- 1 But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, Whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.
- 2 Yea, the strength of their hands, whereto should it profit me? Men in whom ripe age is perished.
- 3 They are gaunt with want and famine; They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of wasteness and desolation.
- 4 They pluck salt-wort by the bushes; And the roots of the broom are their food.
- 5 They are driven forth from the midst of men; They cry after them as after a thief;
- 6 So that they dwell in frightful valleys, In holes of the earth and of the rocks.
- 7 Among the bushes they bray; Under the nettles they are gathered together.
- 8 They arechildren of fools, yea, children of base men; They were scourged out of the land.
- 9 And now I am become their song, Yea, I am a byword unto them.
- 10 They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, And spare not to spit in my face.
- 11 For he hath loosed his cord, and afflicted me; And they have cast off the bridle before me.
- 12 Upon my right hand rise the rabble; They thrust aside my feet, And they cast up against me their ways of destruction.
- 13 They mar my path, They set forward my calamity, Even men that have no helper.
- 14 As through a wide breach they come: In the midst of the ruin they roll themselves upon me.
- 15 Terrors are turned upon me; They chase mine honor as the wind; And my welfare is passed away as a cloud.
- 16 And now my soul is poured out within me; Days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
- 17 In the night season my bones are pierced in me, And thepainsthat gnaw me take no rest.
- 18 By God’sgreat force is my garment disfigured; It bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
- 19 He hath cast me into the mire, And I am become like dust and ashes.
- 20 I cry unto thee, and thou dost not answer me: I stand up, and thou gazest at me.
- 21 Thou art turned to be cruel to me; With the might of thy hand thou persecutest me.
- 22 Thou liftest me up to the wind, thou causest me to rideupon it; And thou dissolvest me in the storm.
- 23 For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, And to the house appointed for all living.
- 24 Howbeit doth not one stretch out the hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?
- 25 Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? Was not my soul grieved for the needy?
- 26 When I looked for good, then evil came; And when I waited for light, there came darkness.
- 27 My heart is troubled, and resteth not; Days of affliction are come upon me.
- 28 I go mourning without the sun: I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.
- 29 I am a brother to jackals, And a companion to ostriches.
- 30 My skin is black, and fallethfrom me, And my bones are burned with heat.
- 31 Therefore is my harpturnedto mourning, And my pipe into the voice of them that weep.

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.
