WORD Research this...Proverbs 31
- 1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
- 2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
- 3 Give not your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
- 4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
- 5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
- 6 Give strong drink to him that is ready to perish, and wine to those that be of heavy hearts.
- 7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
- 8 Open your mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
- 9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. ¶
- 10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
- 11 The heart of her husband does safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
- 12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
- 13 She seeks wool, and flax, and works willingly with her hands.
- 14 She is like the merchants' ships; she brings her food from afar.
- 15 She rises also while it is yet night, and gives meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
- 16 She considers a field, and buys it: with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
- 17 She girds her loins with strength, and strengthens her arms.
- 18 She perceives that her merchandise is good: her candle goes not out by night.
- 19 She lays her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
- 20 She stretches out her hand to the poor; yes, she reaches forth her hands to the needy.
- 21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
- 22 She makes herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
- 23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.
- 24 She makes fine linen, and sells it; and delivers girdles to the merchant.
- 25 Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
- 26 She opens her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
- 27 She looks well to the ways of her household, and eats not the bread of idleness.
- 28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.
- 29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but you excel them all.
- 30 Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
- 31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

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.
