    Job 38
    • 1   Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
    • 2   Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
    • 3   Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
    • 4   Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
    • 5   Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
    • 6   Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
    • 7   When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
    • 8   Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
    • 9   When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
    • 10   And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
    • 11   And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
    • 12   Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
    • 13   That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
    • 14   It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
    • 15   And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.
    • 16   Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
    • 17   Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?
    • 18   Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.
    • 19   Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,
    • 20   That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?
    • 21   Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?
    • 22   Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
    • 23   Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
    • 24   By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?
    • 25   Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
    • 26   To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
    • 27   To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
    • 28   Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
    • 29   Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
    • 30   The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
    • 31   Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
    • 32   Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
    • 33   Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
    • 34   Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?
    • 35   Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?
    • 36   Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?
    • 37   Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,
    • 38   When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?
    • 39   Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,
    • 40   When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?
    • 41   Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

  • 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.
