    Proverbs 6
    • 1   My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
    • 2   Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
    • 3   Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
    • 4   Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
    • 5   Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
    • 6   Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
    • 7   Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
    • 8   Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
    • 9   How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
    • 10   Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
    • 11   So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
    • 12   A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
    • 13   He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
    • 14   Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
    • 15   Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
    • 16   These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
    • 17   A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
    • 18   An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
    • 19   A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
    • 20   My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
    • 21   Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
    • 22   When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
    • 23   For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
    • 24   To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
    • 25   Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
    • 26   For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
    • 27   Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
    • 28   Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
    • 29   So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
    • 30   Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
    • 31   But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
    • 32   But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
    • 33   A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
    • 34   For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
    • 35   He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

  • 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.
