WORD Research this...Proverbs 4
- 1 Hear, you children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
- 2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake you not my law.
- 3 For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
- 4 He taught me also, and said to me, Let your heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
- 5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
- 6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve you: love her, and she shall keep you.
- 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all your getting get understanding.
- 8 Exalt her, and she shall promote you: she shall bring you to honor, when you do embrace her.
- 9 She shall give to your head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to you.
- 10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of your life shall be many.
- 11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths. ¶
- 12 When you go, your steps shall not be straitened; and when you run, you shall not stumble.
- 13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is your life. ¶
- 14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
- 15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
- 16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
- 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
- 18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more to the perfect day.
- 19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. ¶
- 20 My son, attend to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.
- 21 Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the middle of your heart.
- 22 For they are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
- 23 Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
- 24 Put away from you a fraudulent mouth, and perverse lips put far from you.
- 25 Let your eyes look right on, and let your eyelids look straight before you.
- 26 Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established.
- 27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove your foot from evil.

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.
