WORD Research this...Proverbs 15
- 1 A soft answer turneth away wrath; But a grievous word stirreth up anger.
- 2 The tongue of the wise uttereth knowledge aright; But the mouth of fools poureth out folly.
- 3 The eyes of Jehovah are in every place, Keeping watch upon the evil and the good.
- 4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life; But perverseness therein is a breaking of the spirit.
- 5 A fool despiseth his father’s correction; But he that regardeth reproof getteth prudence.
- 6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure; But in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
- 7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge; But the heart of the foolishdoethnot so.
- 8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But the prayer of the upright is his delight.
- 9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
- 10 There is grievous correction for him that forsaketh the way; And he that hateth reproof shall die.
- 11 Sheol and Abaddon are before Jehovah; How much more then the hearts of the children of men!
- 12 A scoffer loveth not to be reproved; He will not go unto the wise.
- 13 A glad heart maketh a cheerful countenance; But by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.
- 14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge; But the mouth of fools feedeth on folly.
- 15 All the days of the afflicted are evil; But he that is of a cheerful heart hath a continual feast.
- 16 Better is little, with the fear of Jehovah, Than great treasure and trouble therewith.
- 17 Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, Than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
- 18 A wrathful man stirreth up contention; But he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
- 19 The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns; But the path of the upright is made a highway.
- 20 A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish man despiseth his mother.
- 21 Folly is joy to him that is void of wisdom; But a man of understanding maketh straight his going.
- 22 Where there is no counsel, purposes are disappointed; But in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
- 23 A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth; And a word in due season, how good is it!
- 24 To the wise the way of lifegoethupward, That he may depart from Sheol beneath.
- 25 Jehovah will root up the house of the proud; But he will establish the border of the widow.
- 26 Evil devices are an abomination to Jehovah; But pleasant wordsarepure.
- 27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; But he that hateth bribes shall live.
- 28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer; But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
- 29 Jehovah is far from the wicked; But he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
- 30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart; Andgood tidings make the bones fat.
- 31 The ear that hearkeneth to the reproof of life Shall abide among the wise.
- 32 He that refuseth correction despiseth his own soul; But he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth understanding.
- 33 The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom; And before honorgoethhumility.

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.
