WORD Research this...Job 21
- 1 Then Job made answer and said,
- 2 Give attention with care to my words; and let this be your comfort.
- 3 Let me say what is in my mind, and after that, go on making sport of me.
- 4 As for me, is my outcry against man? is it then to be wondered at if my spirit is troubled?
- 5 Take note of me and be full of wonder, put your hand on your mouth.
- 6 At the very thought of it my flesh is shaking with fear.
- 7 Why is life given to the evil-doers? why do they become old and strong in power?
- 8 Their children are ever with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
- 9 Their houses are free from fear, and the rod of God does not come on them.
- 10 Their ox is ready at all times to give seed; their cow gives birth, without dropping her young.
- 11 They send out their young ones like a flock, and their children have pleasure in the dance,
- 12 They make songs to the instruments of music, and are glad at the sound of the pipe.
- 13 Their days come to an end without trouble, and suddenly they go down to the underworld.
- 14 Though they said to God, Go away from us, for we have no desire for the knowledge of your ways.
- 15 What is the Ruler of all, that we may give him worship? and what profit is it to us to make prayer to him?
- 16 Truly, is not their well-being in their power? (The purpose of the evil-doers is far from me.)
- 17 How frequently is the light of the evil-doers put out, or does trouble come on them? how frequently does his wrath take them with cords?
- 18 How frequently are they as dry stems before the wind, or as grass taken away by the storm-wind?
- 19 You say, God keeps punishment stored up for his children. Let him send it on the man himself, so that he may have the punishment of it!
- 20 Let his eyes see his trouble, and let him be full of the wrath of the Ruler of all!
- 21 For what interest has he in his house after him, when the number of his months is ended?
- 22 Is anyone able to give teaching to God? for he is the judge of those who are on high.
- 23 One comes to his end in complete well-being, full of peace and quiet:
- 24 His buckets are full of milk, and there is no loss of strength in his bones.
- 25 And another comes to his end with a bitter soul, without ever tasting good.
- 26 Together they go down to the dust, and are covered by the worm.
- 27 See, I am conscious of your thoughts, and of your violent purposes against me;
- 28 For you say, Where is the house of the ruler, and where is the tent of the evil-doer?
- 29 Have you not put the question to the travellers, and do you not take note of their experience?
- 30 How the evil man goes free in the day of trouble, and has salvation in the day of wrath?
- 31 Who will make his way clear to his face? and if he has done a thing, who gives him punishment for it?
- 32 He is taken to his last resting-place, and keeps watch over it.
- 33 The earth of the valley covering his bones is sweet to him, and all men come after him, as there were unnumbered before him.
- 34 Why then do you give me comfort with words in which there is no profit, when you see that there is nothing in your answers but deceit?

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.
