Job 40
- 1 Forsothe the Lord answeride to Joob fro the whirlewynd,
- 2 and seide, Girde thou as a man thi leendis, and Y schal axe thee, and schewe thou to me.
- 3 Whether thou schalt make voide my doom, and schalt condempne me, that thou be maad iust?
- 4 And if thou hast an arm, as God hath, and if thou thundrist with lijk vois, `take thou fairnesse aboute thee,
- 5 and be thou reisid an hiy, and be thou gloriouse, and be thou clothid `in faire clothis.
- 6 Distrie thou proude men in thi woodnesse, and biholde thou, and make lowe ech bostere.
- 7 Biholde thou alle proude men, and schende thou hem; and al to-breke thou wickid men in her place.
- 8 Hide thou hem in dust togidere, and drenche doun her faces in to a diche.
- 9 And Y schal knowleche, that thi riyt hond may saue thee.
- 10 Lo! behemot, whom Y made with thee, schal as an oxe ete hey.
- 11 His strengthe is in hise leendis, and his vertu is in the nawle of his wombe.
- 12 He streyneth his tail as a cedre; the senewis of his `stones of gendrure ben foldid togidere.
- 13 Hise boonys ben as the pipis of bras; the gristil of hym is as platis of yrun.
- 14 He is the bigynnyng of the weies of God; he, that made hym, schal sette his swerd to hym.
- 15 Hillis beren eerbis to this behemot; alle the beestis of the feeld pleien there.
- 16 He slepith vndur schadewe, in the pryuete of rehed, in moiste places.
- 17 Schadewis hilen his schadewe; the salewis of the ryuer cumpassen hym.
- 18 He schal soupe vp the flood, and he schal not wondre; he hath trist, that Jordan schal flowe in to his mouth.
- 19 He schal take hem bi `the iyen of hym, as bi an hook; and bi scharpe schaftis he schal perse hise nosethirlis.
- 20 Whether thou schalt mowe drawe out leuyathan with an hook, and schalt bynde with a roop his tunge?
- 21 Whethir thou schalt putte a ryng in hise nosethirlis, ethir schalt perse hyse cheke with `an hook?
- 22 Whether he schal multiplie preieris to thee, ether schal speke softe thingis to thee?
- 23 Whether he schal make couenaunt with thee, and `thou schalt take him a seruaunt euerlastinge?
- 24 Whether thou schalt scorne hym as a brid, ethir schalt bynde hym to thin handmaidis?
- 25 Schulen frendis `kerue hym, schulen marchauntis departe hym?
- 26 Whether thou schalt fille nettis with his skyn, and a `leep of fischis with his heed?
- 27 Schalt thou putte thin hond on hym? haue thou mynde of the batel, and adde no more to speke.
- 28 Lo! his hope schal disseyue hym; and in the siyt of alle men he schal be cast doun.

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.
