WORD Research this...Job 5
- 1 Call now; is there any that will answer thee? And to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn?
- 2 For vexation killeth the foolish man, And jealousy slayeth the silly one.
- 3 I have seen the foolish taking root: But suddenly I cursed his habitation.
- 4 His children are far from safety, And they are crushed in the gate, Neither is there any to deliver them:
- 5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, And taketh it even out of the thorns; And the snare gapeth for their substance.
- 6 For affliction cometh not forth from the dust, Neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
- 7 But man is born unto trouble, As the sparks fly upward.
- 8 But as for me, I would seek unto God, And unto God would I commit my cause;
- 9 Who doeth great things and unsearchable, Marvellous things without number:
- 10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, And sendeth waters upon the fields;
- 11 So that he setteth up on high those that are low, And those that mourn are exalted to safety.
- 12 He frustrateth the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
- 13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness; And the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.
- 14 They meet with darkness in the day-time, And grope at noonday as in the night.
- 15 But he saveth from the sword of their mouth, Even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
- 16 So the poor hath hope, And iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
- 17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.
- 18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up; He woundeth, and his hands make whole.
- 19 He will deliver thee in six troubles; Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
- 20 In famine he will redeem thee from death; And in war from the power of the sword.
- 21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue; Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
- 22 At destruction and dearth thou shalt laugh; Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
- 23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field; And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
- 24 And thou shalt know that thy tent is in peace; And thou shalt visit thy fold, and shalt miss nothing.
- 25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, And thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
- 26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, Like as a shock of grain cometh in in its season.
- 27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; Hear it, and know thou it for thy good.

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.
