Job 9
- 1 Then Job answered and said,
- 2 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
- 3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
- 4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who has hardened himself against him, and has prospered?
- 5 Which removes the mountains, and they know not: which overturns them in his anger.
- 6 Which shakes the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
- 7 Which commands the sun, and it rises not; and seals up the stars.
- 8 Which alone spreads out the heavens, and treads on the waves of the sea.
- 9 Which makes Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
- 10 Which does great things past finding out; yes, and wonders without number.
- 11 See, he goes by me, and I see him not: he passes on also, but I perceive him not.
- 12 Behold, he takes away, who can hinder him? who will say to him, What do you?
- 13 If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
- 14 How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
- 15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
- 16 If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had listened to my voice.
- 17 For he breaks me with a tempest, and multiplies my wounds without cause.
- 18 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but fills me with bitterness.
- 19 If I speak of strength, see, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
- 20 If I justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
- 21 Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
- 22 This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroys the perfect and the wicked.
- 23 If the whip slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
- 24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covers the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
- 25 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
- 26 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hastens to the prey.
- 27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:
- 28 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that you will not hold me innocent.
- 29 If I be wicked, why then labor I in vain?
- 30 If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
- 31 Yet shall you plunge me in the ditch, and my own clothes shall abhor me.
- 32 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
- 33 Neither is there any judge between us, that might lay his hand on us both.
- 34 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
- 35 Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.

American King James Version
Produced by Stone Engelbrite
This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.
I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.

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.
