WORD Research this...Proverbs 24
- 1 Be not you envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
- 2 For their heart studies destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
- 3 Through wisdom is an house built; and by understanding it is established:
- 4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
- 5 A wise man is strong; yes, a man of knowledge increases strength.
- 6 For by wise counsel you shall make your war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
- 7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he opens not his mouth in the gate.
- 8 He that devises to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.
- 9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
- 10 If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.
- 11 If you forbear to deliver them that are drawn to death, and those that are ready to be slain;
- 12 If you say, Behold, we knew it not; does not he that ponders the heart consider it? and he that keeps your soul, does not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
- 13 My son, eat you honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to your taste:
- 14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul: when you have found it, then there shall be a reward, and your expectation shall not be cut off.
- 15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
- 16 For a just man falls seven times, and rises up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
- 17 Rejoice not when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles:
- 18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
- 19 Fret not yourself because of evil men, neither be you envious at the wicked:
- 20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
- 21 My son, fear you the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
- 22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knows the ruin of them both?
- 23 These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
- 24 He that says to the wicked, You are righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
- 25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come on them.
- 26 Every man shall kiss his lips that gives a right answer.
- 27 Prepare your work without, and make it fit for yourself in the field; and afterwards build your house.
- 28 Be not a witness against your neighbor without cause; and deceive not with your lips.
- 29 Say not, I will do so to him as he has done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
- 30 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
- 31 And, see, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
- 32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked on it, and received instruction.
- 33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
- 34 So shall your poverty come as one that travels; and your want as an armed man.

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.
