Did you include the Deuterocanonical books?

No, and it's not KJV. Maybe NKJV? I searched

Eccl7:13 "Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?"

and it came back with:

Ecclesiastes 7:12-15 For wisdom is a defense, even as money is a defense; but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it. Consider the work of God, for who can make that straight which he has made crooked? In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yes, God has made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything after him. All this I have seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who lives long in his evildoing.

RAG, for those unfamiliar, retrievel-augmented generation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrieval-augmented_generation >

The Bible, for those unfamiliar, it’s the civilization source code forked and maintained by the Jesus cult that emerged about 2 millennia ago.

(To put it in Hacker terms, where I suspect RAG could be a more familiar term than Bible)

Searched for "sexual exploration". One of the results i got returned was from corinthians and read:

The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

I'm so glad this religion of peace sees consent as profoundly unimportant

Pretty effective. You can even type in "child murder" and "genocide" and get relevant passages

Fun exercise. Type in pokemon or japanese. You can really see the nearest neighbor text in embedding space. Pokemon gives passafes referencing animals and japanese passages referencing foreigners

yes, this is quite fun - very distant in time and geography, but converging in semantic space.

天照大 (Amaterasu)

> He brought me into the inner court of the LORD’s house; and I saw at the door of the LORD’s temple, between the porch and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the LORD’s temple and their faces toward the east. They were worshiping the sun toward the east.

神武天皇 (Emperor Jimmu)

> As he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son reigned in his place.

You have to keep reinterpreting it until it aligns with whatever the masses currently consider to be true. This has been going on forever. The current hot reinterpretation is to say we’ve been wrong in what the scriptures teach about same-sex relationships and aaacktshually.. it’s fine.
