WORD Research this...Job 9
- 1 Then Job answered and said,
- 2 Of a truth I know that it is so: But how can man be just with God?
- 3 If he be pleased to contend with him, He cannot answer him one of a thousand.
- 4 He iswise in heart, and mighty in strength: Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?—
- 5 Himthat removeth the mountains, and they know it not, When he overturneth them in his anger;
- 6 That shaketh the earth out of its place, And the pillars thereof tremble;
- 7 That commandeth the sun, and it riseth not, And sealeth up the stars;
- 8 That alone stretcheth out the heavens, And treadeth upon the waves of the sea;
- 9 That maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;
- 10 That doeth great things past finding out, Yea, marvellous things without number.
- 11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: He passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
- 12 Behold, he seizeth the prey, who can hinder him? Who will say unto him, What doest thou?
- 13 God will not withdraw his anger; The helpers of Rahab do stoop under him.
- 14 How much less shall I answer him, And choose out my words to reason with him?
- 15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer; I would make supplication to my judge.
- 16 If I had called, and he had answered me, Yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice.
- 17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, And multiplieth my wounds without cause.
- 18 He will not suffer me to take my breath, But filleth me with bitterness.
- 19 Ifwe speakof strength, lo, he ismighty! And if of justice, Who, saith he, will summon me?
- 20 Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me: Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.
- 21 I am perfect; I regard not myself; I despise my life.
- 22 It is all one; therefore I say, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
- 23 If the scourge slay suddenly, He will mock at the trial of the innocent.
- 24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covereth the faces of the judges thereof: Ifit benothe, who then is it?
- 25 Now my days are swifter than a post: They flee away, they see no good.
- 26 They are passed away as the swift ships; As the eagle that swoopeth on the prey.
- 27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer;
- 28 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
- 29 I shall be condemned; Why then do I labor in vain?
- 30 If I wash myself with snow water, And make my hands never so clean;
- 31 Yet wilt thou plunge me in the ditch, And mine own clothes shall abhor me.
- 32 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, That we should come together in judgment.
- 33 There is no umpire betwixt us, That might lay his hand upon us both.
- 34 Let him take his rod away from me, And let not his terror make me afraid:
- 35 Then would I speak, and not fear him; For I am not so in myself.

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.
