WORD Research this...Proverbs 6
- 1 My son, if you be surety for your friend, if you have stricken your hand with a stranger,
- 2 You are snared with the words of your mouth, you are taken with the words of your mouth.
- 3 Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, when you are come into the hand of your friend; go, humble yourself, and make sure your friend.
- 4 Give not sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids.
- 5 Deliver yourself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. ¶
- 6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
- 7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
- 8 Provides her meat in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.
- 9 How long will you sleep, O sluggard? when will you arise out of your sleep?
- 10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
- 11 So shall your poverty come as one that travels, and your want as an armed man. ¶
- 12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walks with a fraudulent mouth.
- 13 He winks with his eyes, he speaks with his feet, he teaches with his fingers;
- 14 Frowardness is in his heart, he devises mischief continually; he sows discord.
- 15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. ¶
- 16 These six things does the LORD hate: yes, seven are an abomination to him:
- 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
- 18 An heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
- 19 A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brothers. ¶
- 20 My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not the law of your mother:
- 21 Bind them continually on your heart, and tie them about your neck.
- 22 When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you wake, it shall talk with you.
- 23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
- 24 To keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
- 25 Lust not after her beauty in your heart; neither let her take you with her eyelids.
- 26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
- 27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
- 28 Can one go on hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
- 29 So he that goes in to his neighbor's wife; whoever touches her shall not be innocent.
- 30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
- 31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
- 32 But whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding: he that does it destroys his own soul.
- 33 A wound and dishonor shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
- 34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
- 35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts.

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.
