WORD Research this...Job 12
- 1 Then Job answered,
- 2 “No doubt, but you are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
- 3 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Yes, who doesn’t know such things as these?
- 4 I am like one who is a joke to his neighbor, I, who called on God, and he answered. The just, the blameless man is a joke.
- 5 In the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune. It is ready for them whose foot slips.
- 6 The tents of robbers prosper. Those who provoke God are secure, who carry their God in their hands.
- 7 “But ask the animals, now, and they shall teach you; the birds of the sky, and they shall tell you.
- 8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach you. The fish of the sea shall declare to you.
- 9 Who doesn’t know that in all these, the hand of Yahweh has done this,
- 10 in whose hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind?
- 11 Doesn’t the ear try words, even as the palate tastes its food?
- 12 With aged men is wisdom, in length of days understanding.
- 13 “With God is wisdom and might. He has counsel and understanding.
- 14 Behold, he breaks down, and it can’t be built again. He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.
- 15 Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up. Again, he sends them out, and they overturn the earth.
- 16 With him is strength and wisdom. The deceived and the deceiver are his.
- 17 He leads counselors away stripped. He makes judges fools.
- 18 He loosens the bond of kings. He binds their waist with a belt.
- 19 He leads priests away stripped, and overthrows the mighty.
- 20 He removes the speech of those who are trusted, and takes away the understanding of the elders.
- 21 He pours contempt on princes, and loosens the belt of the strong.
- 22 He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.
- 23 He increases the nations, and he destroys them. He enlarges the nations, and he leads them captive.
- 24 He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
- 25 They grope in the dark without light. He makes them stagger like a drunken man.

How This All Works
Your persistent session key, together with your favourite verse, authenticates you. It links to all your notes and tags in the Bible. You can share it with loved ones so they can see your notes and tags.
However, to modify your notes and tags, you need both the persistent session key and your favourite verse.
Please Keep Your Favourite Verse Private
Your persistent session key and favourite verse provide you exclusive access to edit your notes and tags. Think of your persistent session key as a username and your favourite verse as a password. Therefore, ensure your favourite verse is kept private.
The persistent session key allows viewing, while editing is only possible when the correct favourite verse is provided.

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.
