WORD Research this...Proverbs 16
- 1 The plans of the heart belong to man; But the answer of the tongue is from Jehovah.
- 2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; But Jehovah weigheth the spirits.
- 3 Commit thy works unto Jehovah, And thy purposes shall be established.
- 4 Jehovah hath made everything for its own end; Yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
- 5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to Jehovah: Thoughhandjoinin hand, he shall not be unpunished.
- 6 By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for; And by the fear of Jehovah men depart from evil.
- 7 When a man’s ways please Jehovah, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
- 8 Better is a little, with righteousness, Than great revenues with injustice.
- 9 A man’s heart deviseth his way; But Jehovah directeth his steps.
- 10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king; His mouth shall not transgress in judgment.
- 11 A just balance and scales are Jehovah’s; All the weights of the bag are his work.
- 12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness; For the throne is established by righteousness.
- 13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings; And they love him that speaketh right.
- 14 The wrath of a king isasmessengers of death; But a wise man will pacify it.
- 15 In the light of the king’s countenance is life; And his favor is as a cloud of the latter rain.
- 16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! Yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.
- 17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: He that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
- 18 Pridegoethbefore destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.
- 19 Better it is to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.
- 20 He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good; And whoso trusteth in Jehovah, happy is he.
- 21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent; And the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
- 22 Understanding is a well-spring of life unto him that hath it; But the correction of fools istheirfolly.
- 23 The heart of the wise instructeth his mouth, And addeth learning to his lips.
- 24 Pleasant words areas a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
- 25 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death.
- 26 The appetite of the laboring man laboreth for him; For his mouth urgeth him thereto.
- 27 A worthless man deviseth mischief; And in his lips there is as a scorching fire.
- 28 A perverse man scattereth abroad strife; And a whisperer separateth chief friends.
- 29 A man of violence enticeth his neighbor, And leadeth him in a way that is not good.
- 30 He that shutteth his eyes, it is to devise perverse things: He that compresseth his lips bringeth evil to pass.
- 31 The hoary head is a crown of glory; It shall be found in the way of righteousness.
- 32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; And he that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city.
- 33 The lot is cast into the lap; But the whole disposing thereof is of Jehovah.

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.
