### Random verse

- Capability: `bible/random_verse`
- Description: A random Bible verse from bible-api.com, optionally limited to the Old Testament, the New Testament or a list of books ("Psalms, Proverbs"). Works in every commercially usable translation it serves: World English Bible (default), KJV, ASV, BBE, Darby, Douay-Rheims, YLT (New Testament), Open English Bible, Cherokee New Testament, Romanian Cornilescu, Chinese Union, Bible kralicka, Clementine Vulgate and Russian Synodal. Returns the verse's English reference, book name in the translation, chapter, verse and text, and the translation with its licence.
- Instructions: A verse of the day, a random scripture for a devotional, quiz or app, or a random verse from a book or testament. Each call draws a new verse. A scope the translation lacks entirely (Old Testament in the Cherokee New Testament) is not_found; an unknown book name is invalid_input; the Almeida Portuguese text is withheld (invalid_input).
- Cost: 1 credit per call
- Capability file: [Random verse](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/bible-api-com/bible/random_verse)

Accepted options:
- `scope` (string): Limit the draw: OT, NT, or English book names separated by commas ("Psalms, Proverbs", "John"). Omit for the whole translation. Example: `<scope>`
- `translation` (string): bible-api.com translation id: web (default), kjv, asv, bbe, darby, dra, ylt, webbe, oeb-us, oeb-cw, cherokee, rccv, cuv, bkr, clementine or synodal. Case-insensitive. Example: `<translation>`
