WORD Research this...Job 8
- 1 Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,
- 2 How long will you say these things, and how long will the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?
- 3 Does God give wrong decisions? or is the Ruler of all not upright in his judging?
- 4 If your children have done evil against him, then their punishment is from his hand.
- 5 If you will make search for God with care, and put your request before the Ruler of all;
- 6 If you are clean and upright; then he will certainly be moved to take up your cause, and will make clear your righteousness by building up your house again.
- 7 And though your start was small, your end will be very great.
- 8 Put the question now to the past generations, and give attention to what has been searched out by their fathers:
- 9 (For we are but of yesterday, and have no knowledge, because our days on earth are gone like a shade:)
- 10 Will they not give you teaching, and say words of wisdom to you?
- 11 Will the river-plant come up in its pride without wet earth? will the grass get tall without water?
- 12 When it is still green, without being cut down, it becomes dry and dead before any other plant.
- 13 So is the end of all who do not keep God in mind; and the hope of the evil-doer comes to nothing:
- 14 Whose support is cut off, and whose hope is no stronger than a spider's thread.
- 15 He is looking to his family for support, but it is not there; he puts his hope in it, but it comes to nothing.
- 16 He is full of strength before the sun, and his branches go out over his garden.
- 17 His roots are twisted round the stones, forcing their way in between them.
- 18 If he is taken away from his place, then it will say, I have not seen you.
- 19 Such is the joy of his way, and out of the dust another comes up to take his place.
- 20 Truly, God will not give up him who is without sin, and will not take evil-doers by the hand.
- 21 The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.
- 22 Your haters will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the sinner will not be seen again.

How This All Works
Your persistent session key, together with your favourite verse, authenticates you. It links to all your notes and tags in the Bible. You can share it with loved ones so they can see your notes and tags.
However, to modify your notes and tags, you need both the persistent session key and your favourite verse.
Please Keep Your Favourite Verse Private
Your persistent session key and favourite verse provide you exclusive access to edit your notes and tags. Think of your persistent session key as a username and your favourite verse as a password. Therefore, ensure your favourite verse is kept private.
The persistent session key allows viewing, while editing is only possible when the correct favourite verse is provided.

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.
