    Job 34
    •   Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
    •   Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
    •   For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.
    •   Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
    •   For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
    •   Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
    •   What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
    •   Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
    •   For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
    • 10   Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
    • 11   For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
    • 12   Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
    • 13   Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
    • 14   If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
    • 15   All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
    • 16   If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
    • 17   Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
    • 18   Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
    • 19   How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
    • 20   In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
    • 21   For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
    • 22   There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
    • 23   For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
    • 24   He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
    • 25   Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
    • 26   He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
    • 27   Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
    • 28   So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
    • 29   When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
    • 30   That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
    • 31   Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
    • 32   That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
    • 33   Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
    • 34   Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.
    • 35   Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
    • 36   My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.
    • 37   For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.

  • 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.
