WORD Research this...Proverbs 11
- 1 A false balance is an abomination to Jehovah; But a just weight is his delight.
- 2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame; But with the lowly is wisdom.
- 3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them; But the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.
- 4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath; But righteousness delivereth from death.
- 5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way; But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
- 6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; But the treacherous shall be taken in their own iniquity.
- 7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish; And the hope of iniquity perisheth.
- 8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble; And the wicked cometh in his stead.
- 9 With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbor; But through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.
- 10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; And when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
- 11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted; But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
- 12 He that despiseth his neighbor is void of wisdom; But a man of understanding holdeth his peace.
- 13 He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; But he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.
- 14 Where no wise guidance is, the people falleth; But in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
- 15 He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; But he that hateth suretyship is secure.
- 16 A gracious woman obtaineth honor; And violent men obtain riches.
- 17 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; But he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.
- 18 The wicked earneth deceitful wages; But he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward.
- 19 He that is stedfast in righteousness shall attain unto life; And he that pursueth evil doeth it to his own death.
- 20 They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to Jehovah; But such as are perfect in their way are his delight.
- 21 Thoughhandjoinin hand, the evil man shall not be unpunished; But the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
- 22 Asa ring of gold in a swine’s snout, So isa fair woman that is without discretion.
- 23 The desire of the righteous is only good; Butthe expectation of the wicked is wrath.
- 24 There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.
- 25 The liberal soul shall be made fat; And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
- 26 He that withholdeth grain, the people shall curse him; But blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
- 27 He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favor; But he that searcheth after evil, it shall come unto him.
- 28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; But the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.
- 29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; And the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
- 30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; And he that is wise winneth souls.
- 31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth; How much more the wicked and the sinner!

American Standard Version (asv - 2)
2021-02-18English (en)
The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.
The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.
While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.
Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.- Encoding: UTF-8

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.
