    2 Esdras 2
    • 1   Thus saith the Lord, I brought this people out of bondage, and I gave them my commandments by menservants the prophets; whom they would not hear, but despised my counsels.
    • 2   The mother that bare them saith unto them, Go your way, ye children; for I am a widow and forsaken.
    • 3   I brought you up with gladness; but with sorrow and heaviness have I lost you: for ye have sinned before the Lord your God, and done that thing that is evil before him.
    • 4   But what shall I now do unto you? I am a widow and forsaken: go your way, O my children, and ask mercy of the Lord.
    • 5   As for me, O father, I call upon thee for a witness over the mother of these children, which would not keep my covenant,
    • 6   That thou bring them to confusion, and their mother to a spoil, that there may be no offspring of them.
    • 7   Let them be scattered abroad among the heathen, let their names be put out of the earth: for they have despised my covenant.
    • 8   Woe be unto thee, Assur, thou that hidest the unrighteous in thee! O thou wicked people, remember what I did unto Sodom and Gomorrha;
    • 9   Whose land lieth in clods of pitch and heaps of ashes: even so also will I do unto them that hear me not, saith the Almighty Lord.
    • 10   Thus saith the Lord unto Esdras, Tell my people that I will give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I would have given unto Israel.
    • 11   Their glory also will I take unto me, and give these the everlasting tabernacles, which I had prepared for them.
    • 12   They shall have the tree of life for an ointment of sweet savour; they shall neither labour, nor be weary.
    • 13   Go, and ye shall receive: pray for few days unto you, that they may be shortened: the kingdom is already prepared for you: watch.
    • 14   Take heaven and earth to witness; for I have broken the evil in pieces, and created the good: for I live, saith the Lord.
    • 15   Mother, embrace thy children, and bring them up with gladness, make their feet as fast as a pillar: for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord.
    • 16   And those that be dead will I raise up again from their places, and bring them out of the graves: for I have known my name in Israel.
    • 17   Fear not, thou mother of the children: for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord.
    • 18   For thy help will I send my servants Esau and Jeremy, after whose counsel I have sanctified and prepared for thee twelve trees laden with divers fruits,
    • 19   And as many fountains flowing with milk and honey, and seven mighty mountains, whereupon there grow roses and lilies, whereby I will fill thy children with joy.
    • 20   Do right to the widow, judge for the fatherless, give to the poor, defend the orphan, clothe the naked,
    • 21   Heal the broken and the weak, laugh not a lame man to scorn, defend the maimed, and let the blind man come into the sight of my clearness.
    • 22   Keep the old and young within thy walls.
    • 23   Wheresoever thou findest the dead, take them and bury them, and I will give thee the first place in my resurrection.
    • 24   Abide still, O my people, and take thy rest, for thy quietness still come.
    • 25   Nourish thy children, O thou good nurse; stablish their feet.
    • 26   As for the servants whom I have given thee, there shall not one of them perish; for I will require them from among thy number.
    • 27   Be not weary: for when the day of trouble and heaviness cometh, others shall weep and be sorrowful, but thou shalt be merry and have abundance.
    • 28   The heathen shall envy thee, but they shall be able to do nothing against thee, saith the Lord.
    • 29   My hands shall cover thee, so that thy children shall not see hell.
    • 30   Be joyful, O thou mother, with thy children; for I will deliver thee, saith the Lord.
    • 31   Remember thy children that sleep, for I shall bring them out of the sides of the earth, and shew mercy unto them: for I am merciful, saith the Lord Almighty.
    • 32   Embrace thy children until I come and shew mercy unto them: for my wells run over, and my grace shall not fail.
    • 33   I Esdras received a charge of the Lord upon the mount Oreb, that I should go unto Israel; but when I came unto them, they set me at nought, and despised the commandment of the Lord.
    • 34   And therefore I say unto you, O ye heathen, that hear and understand, look for your Shepherd, he shall give you everlasting rest; for he is nigh at hand, that shall come in the end of the world.
    • 35   Be ready to the reward of the kingdom, for the everlasting light shall shine upon you for evermore.
    • 36   Flee the shadow of this world, receive the joyfulness of your glory: I testify my Saviour openly.
    • 37   O receive the gift that is given you, and be glad, giving thanks unto him that hath led you to the heavenly kingdom.
    • 38   Arise up and stand, behold the number of those that be sealed in the feast of the Lord;
    • 39   Which are departed from the shadow of the world, and have received glorious garments of the Lord.
    • 40   Take thy number, O Sion, and shut up those of thine that are clothed in white, which have fulfilled the law of the Lord.
    • 41   The number of thy children, whom thou longedst for, is fulfilled: beseech the power of the Lord, that thy people, which have been called from the beginning, may be hallowed.
    • 42   I Esdras saw upon the mount Sion a great people, whom I could not number, and they all praised the Lord with songs.
    • 43   And in the midst of them there was a young man of a high stature, taller than all the rest, and upon every one of their heads he set crowns, and was more exalted; which I marvelled at greatly.
    • 44   So I asked the angel, and said, Sir, what are these?
    • 45   He answered and said unto me, These be they that have put off the mortal clothing, and put on the immortal, and have confessed the name of God: now are they crowned, and receive palms.
    • 46   Then said I unto the angel, What young person is it that crowneth them, and giveth them palms in their hands?
    • 47   So he answered and said unto me, It is the Son of God, whom they have confessed in the world. Then began I greatly to commend them that stood so stiffly for the name of the Lord.
    • 48   Then the angel said unto me, Go thy way, and tell my people what manner of things, and how great wonders of the Lord thy God, thou hast seen.

  • King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology and CatchWords, including Apocrypha (without glosses) (kjva - 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.
