Job 31
- 1 I made a covenant with my eyes; why then should I think on a maid?
- 2 For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
- 3 Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
- 4 Does not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
- 5 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot has hurried to deceit;
- 6 Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know my integrity.
- 7 If my step has turned out of the way, and my heart walked after my eyes, and if any blot has stuck to my hands;
- 8 Then let me sow, and let another eat; yes, let my offspring be rooted out.
- 9 If my heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door;
- 10 Then let my wife grind to another, and let others bow down on her.
- 11 For this is an heinous crime; yes, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
- 12 For it is a fire that consumes to destruction, and would root out all my increase.
- 13 If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;
- 14 What then shall I do when God rises up? and when he visits, what shall I answer him?
- 15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
- 16 If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
- 17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless has not eaten thereof;
- 18 (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother’s womb;)
- 19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
- 20 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
- 21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
- 22 Then let my arm fall from my shoulder blade, and my arm be broken from the bone.
- 23 For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
- 24 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, You are my confidence;
- 25 If I rejoice because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gotten much;
- 26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
- 27 And my heart has been secretly enticed, or my mouth has kissed my hand:
- 28 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
- 29 If I rejoice at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
- 30 Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
- 31 If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
- 32 The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the travelers.
- 33 If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding my iniquity in my bosom:
- 34 Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
- 35 Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that my adversary had written a book.
- 36 Surely I would take it on my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.
- 37 I would declare to him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near to him.
- 38 If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;
- 39 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
- 40 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.

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.
