WORD Research this...Job 28
- 1 “Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place for gold which they refine.
- 2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and copper is smelted out of the ore.
- 3 Man sets an end to darkness, and searches out, to the furthest bound, the stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.
- 4 He breaks open a shaft away from where people live. They are forgotten by the foot. They hang far from men, they swing back and forth.
- 5 As for the earth, out of it comes bread; Underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.
- 6 Sapphires come from its rocks. It has dust of gold.
- 7 That path no bird of prey knows, neither has the falcon’s eye seen it.
- 8 The proud animals have not trodden it, nor has the fierce lion passed by there.
- 9 He puts his hand on the flinty rock, and he overturns the mountains by the roots.
- 10 He cuts out channels among the rocks. His eye sees every precious thing.
- 11 He binds the streams that they don’t trickle. The thing that is hidden he brings out to light.
- 12 “But where shall wisdom be found? Where is the place of understanding?
- 13 Man doesn’t know its price; Neither is it found in the land of the living.
- 14 The deep says, ‘It isn’t in me.’ The sea says, ‘It isn’t with me.’
- 15 It can’t be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for its price.
- 16 It can’t be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
- 17 Gold and glass can’t equal it, neither shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
- 18 No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal. Yes, the price of wisdom is above rubies.
- 19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, Neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
- 20 Where then does wisdom come from? Where is the place of understanding?
- 21 Seeing it is hidden from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the birds of the sky.
- 22 Destruction and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’
- 23 “God understands its way, and he knows its place.
- 24 For he looks to the ends of the earth, and sees under the whole sky.
- 25 He establishes the force of the wind. Yes, he measures out the waters by measure.
- 26 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder;
- 27 then he saw it, and declared it. He established it, yes, and searched it out.
- 28 To man he said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.’”

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.
