WORD Research this...Job 38
- 1 Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
- 2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel By words without knowledge?
- 3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; For I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
- 4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding.
- 5 Who determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched the line upon it?
- 6 Whereupon were the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner-stone thereof,
- 7 When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
- 8 Orwho shut up the sea with doors, When it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb;
- 9 When I made clouds the garment thereof, And thick darkness a swaddling-band for it,
- 10 And marked out for it my bound, And set bars and doors,
- 11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further; And here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
- 12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days began, And caused the dayspring to know its place;
- 13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it?
- 14 It is changed as clay under the seal; Andall thingsstand forth as a garment:
- 15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, And the high arm is broken.
- 16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? Or hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep?
- 17 Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee? Or hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?
- 18 Hast thou comprehended the earth in its breadth? Declare, if thou knowest it all.
- 19 Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And as for darkness, where is the place thereof,
- 20 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, And that thou shouldest discern the paths to the house thereof?
- 21 Doubtless, thou knowest, for thou wast then born, And the number of thy days is great!
- 22 Hast thou entered the treasuries of the snow, Or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
- 23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, Against the day of battle and war?
- 24 By what way is the light parted, Or the east wind scattered upon the earth?
- 25 Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood, Or the way for the lightning of the thunder;
- 26 To cause it to rain on a land where no man is; On the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
- 27 To satisfy the waste and desolate ground, And to cause the tender grass to spring forth?
- 28 Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
- 29 Out of whose womb came the ice? And the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
- 30 The waters hide themselvesand becomelike stone, And the face of the deep is frozen.
- 31 Canst thou bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the bands of Orion?
- 32 Canst thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season? Or canst thou guide the Bear with her train?
- 33 Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens? Canst thou establish the dominion thereof in the earth?
- 34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, That abundance of waters may cover thee?
- 35 Canst thou send forth lightnings, that they may go, And say unto thee, Here we are?
- 36 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who hath given understanding to the mind?
- 37 Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven,
- 38 When the dust runneth into a mass, And the clods cleave fast together?
- 39 Canst thou hunt the prey for the lioness, Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
- 40 When they couch in their dens, Andabide in the covert to lie in wait?
- 41 Who provideth for the raven his prey, When his young ones cry unto God, Andwander for lack of food?

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.
