Job 29
- 1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
- 2 Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
- 3 When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
- 4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
- 5 When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
- 6 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
- 7 When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
- 8 The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
- 9 The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
- 10 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
- 11 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
- 12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
- 13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
- 14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
- 15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
- 16 I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
- 17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
- 18 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
- 19 My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
- 20 My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
- 21 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
- 22 After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
- 23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
- 24 If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
- 25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.

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.
