WORD Research this...Proverbs 23
- 1 When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you:
- 2 And put a knife to your throat, if you be a man given to appetite.
- 3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
- 4 Labor not to be rich: cease from your own wisdom.
- 5 Will you set your eyes on that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
- 6 Eat you not the bread of him that has an evil eye, neither desire you his dainty meats:
- 7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, says he to you; but his heart is not with you.
- 8 The morsel which you have eaten shall you vomit up, and lose your sweet words.
- 9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of your 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 you.
- 12 Apply your heart to instruction, and your ears to the words of knowledge.
- 13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if you beat him with the rod, he shall not die.
- 14 You shall beat him with the rod, and shall deliver his soul from hell.
- 15 My son, if your heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
- 16 Yes, my reins shall rejoice, when your lips speak right things.
- 17 Let not your heart envy sinners: but be you in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
- 18 For surely there is an end; and your expectation shall not be cut off.
- 19 Hear you, my son, and be wise, and guide your 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 Listen to your father that begat you, and despise not your 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 begets a wise child shall have joy of him.
- 25 Your father and your mother shall be glad, and she that bore you shall rejoice.
- 26 My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.
- 27 For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
- 28 She also lies in wait as for a prey, and increases the transgressors among men.
- 29 Who has woe? who has sorrow? who has contentions? who has babbling? who has wounds without cause? who has redness of eyes?
- 30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
- 31 Look not you on the wine when it is red, when it gives his color in the cup, when it moves itself aright.
- 32 At the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like an adder.
- 33 Your eyes shall behold strange women, and your heart shall utter perverse things.
- 34 Yes, you shall be as he that lies down in the middle of the sea, or as he that lies on the top of a mast.
- 35 They have stricken me, shall you 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.

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.
