WORD Research this...Job 14
- 1 As for man, the son of woman, his days are short and full of trouble.
- 2 He comes out like a flower, and is cut down: he goes in flight like a shade, and is never seen again.
- 3 Is it on such a one as this that your eyes are fixed, with the purpose of judging him?
- 4 If only a clean thing might come out of an unclean! But it is not possible.
- 5 If his days are ordered, and you have knowledge of the number of his months, having given him a fixed limit past which he may not go;
- 6 Let your eyes be turned away from him, and take your hand from him, so that he may have pleasure at the end of his day, like a servant working for payment.
- 7 For there is hope of a tree; if it is cut down, it will come to life again, and its branches will not come to an end.
- 8 Though its root may be old in the earth, and its cut-off end may be dead in the dust;
- 9 Still, at the smell of water, it will make buds, and put out branches like a young plant.
- 10 But man comes to his death and is gone: he gives up his spirit, and where is he?
- 11 The waters go from a pool, and a river becomes waste and dry;
- 12 So man goes down to his last resting-place and comes not again: till the heavens come to an end, they will not be awake or come out of their sleep.
- 13 If only you would keep me safe in the underworld, putting me in a secret place till your wrath is past, giving me a fixed time when I might come to your memory again!
- 14 If death takes a man, will he come to life again? All the days of my trouble I would be waiting, till the time came for me to be free.
- 15 At the sound of your voice I would give an answer, and you would have a desire for the work of your hands.
- 16 For now my steps are numbered by you, and my sin is not overlooked.
- 17 My wrongdoing is corded up in a bag, and my sin is shut up safe.
- 18 But truly a mountain falling comes to dust, and a rock is moved from its place;
- 19 The stones are crushed small by the force of the waters; the dust of the earth is washed away by their overflowing: and so you put an end to the hope of man.
- 20 You overcome him for ever, and he is gone; his face is changed in death, and you send him away.
- 21 His sons come to honour, and he has no knowledge of it; they are made low, but he is not conscious of it.
- 22 Only his flesh still has pain, and his soul is sad.

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.
