Random KJV bible verse generator

Press Generate for a random verse in the King James Version, the translation whose cadence has shaped English-speaking faith for four centuries. This page stays entirely in the KJV, so every verse comes back in the familiar "thee and thou" wording rather than a modern paraphrase.

People seek out the King James for its voice. First published in 1611, its measured, formal English is the version behind countless memorised passages and hymns: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want" reads the way many learned it by heart. Because every passage here is quoted in full with its book, chapter, and verse, you can look it up in your own King James Bible and read what surrounds it.

A random verse fits into a daily habit. Many open the morning with one as a devotional, a fresh passage in place of turning to the same familiar page. Others reach for one in a hard moment: a verse on comfort when grief is near, on strength before something daunting, on hope when the road ahead is unclear. Small-group leaders and Sunday-school teachers pull a KJV verse to open a session, and people send one to a friend or write it inside a card.

Keep the draw on theme with the filter (faith, love, hope, strength, comfort, wisdom, gratitude, or forgiveness) so the verse meets what you are carrying that day. Share a link that keeps your filter and count so a group reads from the same passages.

For a modern-English option alongside it, the main Bible verse generator adds the World English Bible.
