BibleBot is highly configurable. You may configure the maximum amount of verses it can quote at a time (default is 5) as well as how long it pauses between posts, to make sure it doesn't spam (the default is 3 seconds). BibleBot is configured via commandline flags.
To configure the maximum amount of verses, use the "-verses=YOUR_AMOUNT_HERE" flag. For example, if I want my bot to only allow up to 10 verses in one quote, I'd use "-verses=10".
To configure the timeout in seconds to pause after posting a message, use the "-timeout=YOUR_TIMEOUT_HERE" flag. For example, if I want my bot to pause 30 seconds after posting a message, I'd use "-timeout=30".
Here are examples of running BibleBot on Linux or Mac. If you're on Windows, substitute biblebot.exe instead of ./biblebot.
Example One: Maximum verses of 4
./biblebot -token="MY_TOKEN" -verses=4
Example Two: Timeout of 5 seconds
./biblebot -token="MY_TOKEN" -timeout=5
Example Three: Maximum verses of 3 and timeout of 10 seconds
./biblebot -token="MY_TOKEN" -verses=3 -timeout=10
