Job 21
- 1 But Job answered and said,
- 2 Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.
- 3 Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.
- 4 As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
- 5 Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand on your mouth.
- 6 Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling takes hold on my flesh.
- 7 Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, are mighty in power?
- 8 Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
- 9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God on them.
- 10 Their bull engenders, and fails not; their cow calves, and casts not her calf.
- 11 They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
- 12 They take the tambourine and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.
- 13 They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
- 14 Therefore they say to God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of your ways.
- 15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray to him?
- 16 See, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
- 17 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft comes their destruction on them! God distributes sorrows in his anger.
- 18 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carries away.
- 19 God lays up his iniquity for his children: he rewards him, and he shall know it.
- 20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
- 21 For what pleasure has he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the middle?
- 22 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judges those that are high.
- 23 One dies in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
- 24 His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
- 25 And another dies in the bitterness of his soul, and never eats with pleasure.
- 26 They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.
- 27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which you wrongfully imagine against me.
- 28 For you say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?
- 29 Have you not asked them that go by the way? and do you not know their tokens,
- 30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
- 31 Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he has done?
- 32 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.
- 33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.
- 34 How then comfort you me in vain, seeing in your answers there remains falsehood?

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.
