A Fairness Report
No verse weighted. No book favored.
Random verses on this site are picked by a cryptographically secure RNG drawing entropy from the operating system — the same primitive your bank uses for session tokens. Most "random" verse generators don't actually do this. This page is the receipt that ours does.
The receipts
Old vs New Testament
Does the system favor one over the other?
- Old Testament
- 74% vs 74% expected
- New Testament
- 26% vs 26% expected
Biggest swings
Which books deviate the most from their expected rate?
1 outside ±2σ — all small-sample variance. None anomalous (none past ±3.5σ).
- Judges -4.2% -2.43σ
One day, scattered
What does a day's randomness actually look like?
Deviation, all 66 books
Each book's actual selection rate compared to its expected rate based on verse count. Bars right of the midline appeared more often than expected; bars left appeared less. The shape tells the story.

Why does 3 John look skewed?
Expected 77.7 hits, got 65 — a -16.3% swing on a 14-verse book. Looks alarming, but it's a difference of 12.7 hits. Small books have tiny expected values, so normal variance creates large percentage swings.
Z-score: -1.44σ (statistically normal).
