    Proverbs 23
    • 1   When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:
    • 2   And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
    • 3   Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
    • 4   Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
    • 5   Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
    • 6   Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
    • 7   For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
    • 8   The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
    • 9   Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
    • 10   Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
    • 11   For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.
    • 12   Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
    • 13   Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
    • 14   Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
    • 15   My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
    • 16   Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
    • 17   Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.
    • 18   For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
    • 19   Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
    • 20   Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
    • 21   For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
    • 22   Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
    • 23   Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
    • 24   The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.
    • 25   Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.
    • 26   My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
    • 27   For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
    • 28   She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.
    • 29   Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
    • 30   They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
    • 31   Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
    • 32   At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
    • 33   Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
    • 34   Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
    • 35   They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

  • King James Version (kjv - 3.1)

    2023-07-19

    English (en)

    This is the King James Version of the Holy Bible (also known as the Authorized Version) with embedded Strong's Numbers. The rights to the base text are held by the Crown of England.
    The Strong's numbers in the OT were obtained from The Bible Foundation: http://www.bf.org. The NT Strong's data was obtained from The KJV2003 Project at CrossWire: http://www.crosswire.org. These mechanisms provide a useful means for looking up the exact original language word in a lexicon that is keyed to Strong's numbers.

    Special thanks to the volunteers at Bible Foundation for keying the Hebrew/English data and of Project KJV2003 for working toward the completion of synchronizing the English phrases to the Stephanas Textus Receptus, and to Dr. Maurice Robinson for providing the base Greek text with Strong's and Morphology.
    We are also appreciative of formatting markup that was provided by Michael Paul Johnson at http://www.ebible.org. Their time and generosity to contribute such for the free use of the Body of Christ is a great blessing and this derivitive work could not have been possible without these efforts of so many individuals.
    Version 3.1 incorporates a more recent set of TR data from Dr. Maurice Robinson than was used in all the earlier versions. The TR data was obtained in 2016 from the Greek New Testament sources website
    https://sites.google.com/a/wmail.fi/greeknt/home/greeknt
    This was integrated into the OSIS source files of an intermediate version 2.9a hosted at
    https://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/kjv2011/kjv2.9a/
    It is in this spirit that we in turn offer the KJV2003 Project text freely for any purpose.
    Any copyright that might be obtained for this effort is held by CrossWire Bible Society © 2003-2023 and CrossWire Bible Society hereby grants a general public license to use this text for any purpose.

Basic Hash Usage Explained

At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.

We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.

Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.

Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.

Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.

The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.

We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
