WORD Research this...Isaiah 24
- 1 See, the Lord is making the earth waste and unpeopled, he is turning it upside down, and sending the people in all directions.
- 2 And it will be the same for the people as for the priest; for the servant as for his master; and for the woman-servant as for her owner; the same for the one offering goods for a price as for him who takes them; the same for him who gives money at interest and for him who takes it; the same for him who lets others have the use of his property as for those who make use of it.
- 3 The earth will be completely waste and without men; for this is the word of the Lord.
- 4 The earth is sorrowing and wasting away, the world is full of grief and wasting away, the high ones of the earth come to nothing.
- 5 The earth has been made unclean by those living in it; because the laws have not been kept by them, the orders have been changed, and the eternal agreement has been broken.
- 6 For this cause the earth is given up to the curse, and those in it are judged as sinners: for this cause those living on the earth are burned up, and the rest are small in number.
- 7 The new wine is thin, the vine is feeble, and all the glad-hearted make sounds of grief.
- 8 The pleasing sound of all instruments of music has come to an end, and the voices of those who are glad.
- 9 There is no more drinking of wine with a song; strong drink will be bitter to those who take it.
- 10 The town is waste and broken down: every house is shut up, so that no man may come in.
- 11 There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; there is an end of all delight, the joy of the land is gone.
- 12 In the town all is waste, and in the public place is destruction.
- 13 For it will be in the heart of the earth among the peoples, like the shaking of an olive-tree, as the last of the grapes after the getting-in is done.
- 14 But those will be making sounds of joy; they will be crying loudly from the sea for the glory of the Lord.
- 15 Give praise to the Lord in the east, to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the sea-lands.
- 16 From the farthest part of the earth comes the sound of songs, glory to the upright. But I said, I am wasting away, wasting away, the curse is on me! The false ones go on in their false way, yes, they go on acting falsely.
- 17 Fear, and death, and the net, are come on you, O people of the earth.
- 18 And it will be that he who goes in flight from the sound of fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for the windows on high are open, and the bases of the earth are shaking.
- 19 The earth is completely broken, it is parted in two, it is violently moved.
- 20 The earth will be moving uncertainly, like a man overcome by drink; it will be shaking like a tent; and the weight of its sin will be on it, crushing it down so that it will not get up again.
- 21 And in that day the Lord will send punishment on the army of the high ones on high, and on the kings of the earth on the earth.
- 22 And they will be got together, like prisoners in the prison-house; and after a long time they will have their punishment.
- 23 Then the moon will be veiled, and the sun put to shame; for the Lord of armies will be ruling in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before his judges he will let his glory be seen.

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.
