WORD Research this...Job 30
- 1 But now those who are younger than I make sport of me; those whose fathers I would not have put with the dogs of my flocks.
- 2 Of what use is the strength of their hands to me? all force is gone from them.
- 3 They are wasted for need of food, biting the dry earth; their only hope of life is in the waste land.
- 4 They are pulling off the salt leaves from the brushwood, and making a meal of roots.
- 5 They are sent out from among their townsmen, men are crying after them as thieves
- 6 They have to get a resting-place in the hollows of the valleys, in holes of the earth and rocks.
- 7 They make noises like asses among the brushwood; they get together under the thorns.
- 8 They are sons of shame, and of men without a name, who have been forced out of the land.
- 9 And now I have become their song, and I am a word of shame to them.
- 10 I am disgusting to them; they keep away from me, and put marks of shame on me.
- 11 For he has made loose the cord of my bow, and put me to shame; he has sent down my flag to the earth before me.
- 12 The lines of his men of war put themselves in order, and make high their ways of destruction against me:
- 13 They have made waste my roads, with a view to my destruction; his bowmen come round about me;
- 14 As through a wide broken place in the wall they come on, I am overturned by the shock of their attack.
- 15 Fears have come on me; my hope is gone like the wind, and my well-being like a cloud.
- 16 But now my soul is turned to water in me, days of trouble overtake me:
- 17 The flesh is gone from my bones, and they give me no rest; there is no end to my pains.
- 18 With great force he takes a grip of my clothing, pulling me by the neck of my coat.
- 19 Truly God has made me low, even to the earth, and I have become like dust.
- 20 You give no answer to my cry, and take no note of my prayer.
- 21 You have become cruel to me; the strength of your hand is hard on me.
- 22 Lifting me up, you make me go on the wings of the wind; I am broken up by the storm.
- 23 For I am certain that you will send me back to death, and to the meeting-place ordered for all living.
- 24 Has not my hand been stretched out in help to the poor? have I not been a saviour to him in his trouble?
- 25 Have I not been weeping for the crushed? and was not my soul sad for him who was in need?
- 26 For I was looking for good, and evil came; I was waiting for light, and it became dark.
- 27 My feelings are strongly moved, and give me no rest; days of trouble have overtaken me.
- 28 I go about in dark clothing, uncomforted; I get up in the public place, crying out for help.
- 29 I have become a brother to the jackals, and go about in the company of ostriches.
- 30 My skin is black and dropping off me; and my bones are burning with the heat of my disease.
- 31 And my music has been turned to sorrow, and the sound of my pipe into the noise of weeping.

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.
