You get the idea :D would you consider the following codes? Also, I'd like to connect with you on LinkedIn sir

I tried working on adding the DRA (since it's public domain) from Project Gutenberg, but I'm not quite sure what I did with that work. The plain text version of that Bible is pretty easy to parse, but you'd have to figure out how to handle the additional books and chapters in the Catholic Bible and how you'd want to handle switching versions.

Thank you for the issue. Indeed, the code has assumptions on the Bible books (order and selection) and chapters (count) based on the western Protestant translations. Making it accommodate other translations would take some work, but it's not insurmountable.

I've thought before that another domain name could be used for those, e.g. rv1960.bible.rs/Juan/1/1
