The following is a program I wrote which pulls a random verse from a random chapter from a random book of a random translation of the bible. There are some neat things in there that you probably would not have noticed in a passing read. You get a lot of just plain obscure stuff as well...

You need to have ActiveX controls enabled on your browser's security settings in order to view the control. You also need to have a live internet connection to run this program. Bible Sound Bites pulls its scriptures from a web site called Bible Gateway which can be found at http://bible.gospelcom.net.

It is not a perfect program. There are some bugs. If it does happen to crash on you just hit F5 to continue, or, in a frames page, right click on the Bible Sound Bites window and click Refresh from the pop-up menu.
