Job 22
- 1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
- 2 Can a man be profitable to God, as he that is wise may be profitable to himself?
- 3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that you are righteous? or is it gain to him, that you make your ways perfect?
- 4 Will he reprove you for fear of you? will he enter with you into judgment?
- 5 Is not your wickedness great? and your iniquities infinite?
- 6 For you have taken a pledge from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
- 7 You have not given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
- 8 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honorable man dwelled in it.
- 9 You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
- 10 Therefore snares are round about you, and sudden fear troubles you;
- 11 Or darkness, that you can not see; and abundance of waters cover you.
- 12 Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
- 13 And you say, How does God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
- 14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he sees not; and he walks in the circuit of heaven.
- 15 Have you marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
- 16 Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflowed with a flood:
- 17 Which said to God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
- 18 Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
- 19 The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
- 20 Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumes.
- 21 Acquaint now yourself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come to you.
- 22 Receive, I pray you, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.
- 23 If you return to the Almighty, you shall be built up, you shall put away iniquity far from your tabernacles.
- 24 Then shall you lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
- 25 Yes, the Almighty shall be your defense, and you shall have plenty of silver.
- 26 For then shall you have your delight in the Almighty, and shall lift up your face to God.
- 27 You shall make your prayer to him, and he shall hear you, and you shall pay your vows.
- 28 You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established to you: and the light shall shine on your ways.
- 29 When men are cast down, then you shall say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
- 30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of your hands.

American King James Version (akjv - 2.1)

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.
