What the verses are drawn from
The catalog holds every non-empty verse in the World English Bible verse-per-line release from eBible.org, across all 66 books. The WEB is in the public domain, so you can quote it freely. If the data API can't be reached, the tool falls back to an offline sample of 50 King James verses, and the footer says offline fallback.
