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. Draw a single verse to sit with, or a small set for a longer reading, and switch on No repeats so none come up twice in a run.

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. Reaching for a random KJV verse can feel closer to how the words were handed down, and 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, write it inside a card, or use it as a seed for journaling and memorisation.

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. Copy a verse to paste into a message or your notes, and re-roll a single line that does not fit without losing the rest of a set. Read one at a time in list view, lay several out in a grid, or spin the wheel for a slower reveal before the verse appears. Share a link that keeps your filter and count so a group reads from the same passages.

It is free, with no account and no limit on how many verses you draw. For the same verses offered with a modern-English option, the main Bible verse generator adds the World English Bible alongside the King James; this page stays purely with the KJV so many know by heart.
