    Job 31
    • 1   I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
    • 2   For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
    • 3   Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
    • 4   Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
    • 5   If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
    • 6   Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity.
    • 7   If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;
    • 8   Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
    • 9   If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour’s door;
    • 10   Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
    • 11   For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
    • 12   For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
    • 13   If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;
    • 14   What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
    • 15   Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
    • 16   If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
    • 17   Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
    • 18   (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother’s womb;)
    • 19   If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
    • 20   If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
    • 21   If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
    • 22   Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
    • 23   For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
    • 24   If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
    • 25   If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;
    • 26   If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
    • 27   And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
    • 28   This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
    • 29   If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
    • 30   Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
    • 31   If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
    • 32   The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.
    • 33   If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:
    • 34   Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
    • 35   Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.
    • 36   Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.
    • 37   I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
    • 38   If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;
    • 39   If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
    • 40   Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.

  • King James Version (kjv - 3.1)

    2023-07-19

    English (en)

    This is the King James Version of the Holy Bible (also known as the Authorized Version) with embedded Strong's Numbers. The rights to the base text are held by the Crown of England.
    The Strong's numbers in the OT were obtained from The Bible Foundation: http://www.bf.org. The NT Strong's data was obtained from The KJV2003 Project at CrossWire: http://www.crosswire.org. These mechanisms provide a useful means for looking up the exact original language word in a lexicon that is keyed to Strong's numbers.

    Special thanks to the volunteers at Bible Foundation for keying the Hebrew/English data and of Project KJV2003 for working toward the completion of synchronizing the English phrases to the Stephanas Textus Receptus, and to Dr. Maurice Robinson for providing the base Greek text with Strong's and Morphology.
    We are also appreciative of formatting markup that was provided by Michael Paul Johnson at http://www.ebible.org. Their time and generosity to contribute such for the free use of the Body of Christ is a great blessing and this derivitive work could not have been possible without these efforts of so many individuals.
    Version 3.1 incorporates a more recent set of TR data from Dr. Maurice Robinson than was used in all the earlier versions. The TR data was obtained in 2016 from the Greek New Testament sources website
    https://sites.google.com/a/wmail.fi/greeknt/home/greeknt
    This was integrated into the OSIS source files of an intermediate version 2.9a hosted at
    https://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/kjv2011/kjv2.9a/
    It is in this spirit that we in turn offer the KJV2003 Project text freely for any purpose.
    Any copyright that might be obtained for this effort is held by CrossWire Bible Society © 2003-2023 and CrossWire Bible Society hereby grants a general public license to use this text for any purpose.

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.
