    Lamentations 3
    • 1   I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
    • 2   He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.
    • 3   Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day.
    • 4   My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.
    • 5   He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
    • 6   He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.
    • 7   He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
    • 8   Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
    • 9   He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
    • 10   He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.
    • 11   He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
    • 12   He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
    • 13   He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
    • 14   I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
    • 15   He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.
    • 16   He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.
    • 17   And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.
    • 18   And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the Lord:
    • 19   Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
    • 20   My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
    • 21   This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
    • 22   It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
    • 23   They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
    • 24   The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
    • 25   The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
    • 26   It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.
    • 27   It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
    • 28   He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.
    • 29   He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
    • 30   He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
    • 31   For the Lord will not cast off for ever:
    • 32   But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
    • 33   For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
    • 34   To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
    • 35   To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,
    • 36   To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
    • 37   Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?
    • 38   Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
    • 39   Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
    • 40   Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.
    • 41   Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
    • 42   We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
    • 43   Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
    • 44   Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
    • 45   Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
    • 46   All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
    • 47   Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
    • 48   Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
    • 49   Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,
    • 50   Till the Lord look down, and behold from heaven.
    • 51   Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.
    • 52   Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
    • 53   They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
    • 54   Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.
    • 55   I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon.
    • 56   Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
    • 57   Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
    • 58   O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
    • 59   O Lord, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
    • 60   Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
    • 61   Thou hast heard their reproach, O Lord, and all their imaginations against me;
    • 62   The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
    • 63   Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.
    • 64   Render unto them a recompence, O Lord, according to the work of their hands.
    • 65   Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.
    • 66   Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the Lord.

  • 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.
