+ * SOURCE: the World English Bible, PUBLIC DOMAIN ("The World English Bible is in the Public Domain. You

+ * whole verse, or one whole sentence of it (marked "b" in the reference), always with its reference.
+ *
+ * THE DIVINE NAME IS ONE SWITCH. The WEB prints "Yahweh"; the WEB British Edition (also public domain)
+ * prints "the LORD" / "The LORD" in the same places. Texts carry {NAME} (mid-sentence) and {Name}
+ * (sentence start); change DIVINE_NAME below to switch every verse at once. (If switching, re-verify the
+ * handful of verses against the British Edition text: it also uses British spelling.)
