WORD Research this...Job 29
- 1 Job again took up his parable, and said,
- 2 “Oh that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me;
- 3 when his lamp shone on my head, and by his light I walked through darkness,
- 4 as I was in the ripeness of my days, when the friendship of God was in my tent,
- 5 when the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were around me,
- 6 when my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured out streams of oil for me,
- 7 when I went out to the city gate, when I prepared my seat in the street.
- 8 The young men saw me and hid themselves. The aged rose up and stood.
- 9 The princes refrained from talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
- 10 The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.
- 11 For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it commended me:
- 12 Because I delivered the poor who cried, and the fatherless also, who had no one to help him,
- 13 the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me, and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
- 14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me. My justice was as a robe and a diadem.
- 15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame.
- 16 I was a father to the needy. The cause of him who I didn’t know, I searched out.
- 17 I broke the jaws of the unrighteous, and plucked the prey out of his teeth.
- 18 Then I said, ‘I shall die in my own house, I shall number my days as the sand.
- 19 My root is spread out to the waters. The dew lies all night on my branch.
- 20 My glory is fresh in me. My bow is renewed in my hand.’
- 21 “Men listened to me, waited, and kept silence for my counsel.
- 22 After my words they didn’t speak again. My speech fell on them.
- 23 They waited for me as for the rain. Their mouths drank as with the spring rain.
- 24 I smiled on them when they had no confidence. They didn’t reject the light of my face.
- 25 I chose out their way, and sat as chief. I lived as a king in the army, as one who comforts the mourners.

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.
