WORD Research this...Job 31
- 1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; How then should I look upon a virgin?
- 2 For what is the portion from God above, And the heritage from the Almighty on high?
- 3 Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, And disaster to the workers of iniquity?
- 4 Doth not he see my ways, And number all my steps?
- 5 If I have walked with falsehood, And my foot hath hasted to deceit
- 6 (Let me be weighed in an even balance, That God may know mine integrity);
- 7 If my step hath turned out of the way, And my heart walked after mine eyes, And if any spot hath cleaved to my hands:
- 8 Then let me sow, and let another eat; Yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out.
- 9 If my heart hath been enticed unto a woman, And I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door;
- 10 Then let my wife grind unto another, And let others bow down upon her.
- 11 For that were a heinous crime; Yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges:
- 12 For it is a fire that consumeth unto Destruction, And would root out all mine increase.
- 13 If I have despised the cause of my man-servant or of my maid-servant, When they contended with me;
- 14 What then shall I do when God riseth up? And when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
- 15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?
- 16 If I have withheld the poor fromtheirdesire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
- 17 Or have eaten my morsel alone, And the fatherless hath not eaten thereof
- 18 (Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, And her have I guided from my mother’s womb);
- 19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering;
- 20 If his loins have not blessed me, And if he hath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
- 21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, Because I saw my help in the gate:
- 22 Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade, And mine arm be broken from the bone.
- 23 For calamity from God is a terror to me, And by reason of his majesty I can do nothing.
- 24 If I have made gold my hope, And have said to the fine gold, Thou artmy confidence;
- 25 If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, And because my hand had gotten much;
- 26 If I have beheld the sun when it shined, Or the moon walking in brightness,
- 27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, And my mouth hath kissed my hand:
- 28 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judges; For I should have denied the God that is above.
- 29 If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, Or lifted up myself when evil found him
- 30 (Yea, I have not suffered my mouth to sin By asking his life with a curse);
- 31 If the men of my tent have not said, Who can find one that hath not been filled with his meat?
- 32 (The sojourner hath not lodged in the street; But I have opened my doors to the traveller);
- 33 If like Adam I have covered my transgressions, By hiding mine iniquity in my bosom,
- 34 Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, So that I kept silence, and went not out of the door—
- 35 Oh that I had one to hear me! (Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me) Andthat I hadthe indictment which mine adversary hath written!
- 36 Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder; I would bind it unto me as a crown:
- 37 I would declare unto him the number of my steps; As a prince would I go near unto him.
- 38 If my land crieth out against me, And the furrows thereof weep together;
- 39 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, Or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
- 40 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, And cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.

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.
