Job 12
- 1 And Job answered and said,
- 2 No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
- 3 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
- 4 I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
- 5 He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
- 6 The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
- 7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
- 8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
- 9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?
- 10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
- 11 Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
- 12 With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
- 13 With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
- 14 Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
- 15 Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
- 16 With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
- 17 He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.
- 18 He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
- 19 He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
- 20 He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
- 21 He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
- 22 He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
- 23 He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.
- 24 He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
- 25 They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.

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.
