WORD Research this...Proverbs 17
- 1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
- 2 A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causes shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brothers.
- 3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD tries the hearts.
- 4 A wicked doer gives heed to false lips; and a liar gives ear to a naughty tongue.
- 5 Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
- 6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
- 7 Excellent speech becomes not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
- 8 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that has it: wherever it turns, it prospers.
- 9 He that covers a transgression seeks love; but he that repeats a matter separates very friends.
- 10 A reproof enters more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
- 11 An evil man seeks only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
- 12 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
- 13 Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
- 14 The beginning of strife is as when one lets out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
- 15 He that justifies the wicked, and he that condemns the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
- 16 Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he has no heart to it?
- 17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
- 18 A man void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes surety in the presence of his friend.
- 19 He loves transgression that loves strife: and he that exalts his gate seeks destruction.
- 20 He that has a fraudulent heart finds no good: and he that has a perverse tongue falls into mischief.
- 21 He that begets a fool does it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool has no joy.
- 22 A merry heart does good like a medicine: but a broken spirit dries the bones.
- 23 A wicked man takes a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
- 24 Wisdom is before him that has understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
- 25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bore him.
- 26 Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.
- 27 He that has knowledge spares his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
- 28 Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is counted wise: and he that shuts his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

American King James Version (akjv - 2.1)
2023-12-27English (en)
American King James Version
Produced by Stone Engelbrite
This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.
I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.

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.
