Lamentations 5
- 1 Lord, haue thou mynde what bifelle to vs; se thou, and biholde oure schenschipe.
- 2 Oure eritage is turned to aliens, oure housis ben turned to straungers.
- 3 We ben maad fadirles children with out fadir; oure modris ben as widewis.
- 4 We drunken oure watir for monei, we bouyten oure trees for siluer.
- 5 We weren dryuun bi oure heedis, and reste was not youun to feynt men.
- 6 We yauen hond to Egipt, and to Assiriens, that we schulden be fillid with breed.
- 7 Oure fadris synneden, and ben not, and we baren the wickidnessis of hem.
- 8 Seruauntis weren lordis of vs, and noon was, that ayenbouyte fro the hond of hem.
- 9 In oure lyues we brouyten breed to vs, fro the face of swerd in desert.
- 10 Oure skynne is brent as a furneis, of the face of tempestis of hungur.
- 11 Thei maden low wymmen in Sion, and virgyns in the citees of Juda.
- 12 Princes weren hangid bi the hond; thei weren not aschamed of the faces of elde men.
- 13 Thei mysusiden yonge wexynge men vnchastli, and children fellen doun in tree.
- 14 Elde men failiden fro yatis; yonge men failiden of the queer of singeris.
- 15 The ioie of oure herte failide; oure song is turned in to mourenyng.
- 16 The coroun of oure heed fellen doun; wo to vs! for we synneden.
- 17 Therfor oure herte is maad soreuful, therfor oure iyen ben maad derk.
- 18 For the hil of Sion, for it perischide; foxis yeden in it.
- 19 But thou, Lord, schal dwelle with outen ende; thi seete schal dwelle in generacioun and in to generacioun.
- 20 Whi schalt thou foryete vs with outen ende, schalt thou forsake vs in to lengthe of daies?
- 21 Lord, conuerte thou vs to thee, and we schal be conuertid; make thou newe oure daies, as at the bigynnyng.
- 22 But thou castynge awei hast cast awei vs; thou art wrooth ayens vs greetli.

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.
