Welcome to the project Patrick.  We have a couple of command-line tools
to try.

The diatheke homepage is at http://www.crosswire.org/sword/diatheke but
the version in CVS is much more up to date.  We use it for Eggdrop, CGI,
SOAP, etc. interfaces.

There's also irenaeus at http://sourceforge.net/projects/irenaeus/,
which is primarily an ncurses frontend but has a command line interface
too I believe.  Unfortunately it hasn't been maintained in about a year.
