WORD Research this...Proverbs 20
- 1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler; And whosoever erreth thereby is not wise.
- 2 The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion: He that provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own life.
- 3 It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife; But every fool will be quarrelling.
- 4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter; Therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.
- 5 Counsel in the heart of man islikedeep water; But a man of understanding will draw it out.
- 6 Most men will proclaim every one his own kindness; But a faithful man who can find?
- 7 A righteous man that walketh in his integrity, Blessed are his children after him.
- 8 A king that sitteth on the throne of judgment Scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
- 9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
- 10 Diverse weights, and diverse measures, Both of them alike are an abomination to Jehovah.
- 11 Even a child maketh himself known by his doings, Whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.
- 12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, Jehovah hath made even both of them.
- 13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; Open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
- 14 It is bad, it is bad, saith the buyer; But when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.
- 15 There is gold, and abundance of rubies; But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
- 16 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; And hold him in pledge that is surety for foreigners.
- 17 Bread of falsehood is sweet to a man; But afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
- 18 Every purpose is established by counsel; And by wise guidance make thou war.
- 19 He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; Therefore company not with him that openeth wide his lips.
- 20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, His lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness.
- 21 An inheritancemay be gotten hastily at the beginning; But the end thereof shall not be blessed.
- 22 Say not thou, I will recompense evil: Wait for Jehovah, and he will save thee.
- 23 Diverse weights are an abomination to Jehovah; And a false balance is not good.
- 24 A man’s goings are of Jehovah; How then can man understand his way?
- 25 It is a snare to a man rashly to say, It is holy, And after vows to make inquiry.
- 26 A wise king winnoweth the wicked, And bringeth the threshing-wheel over them.
- 27 The spirit of man is the lamp of Jehovah, Searching all his innermost parts.
- 28 Kindness and truth preserve the king; And his throne is upholden by kindness.
- 29 The glory of young men is their strength; And the beauty of old men is the hoary head.
- 30 Stripes that wound cleanse away evil; And strokesreachthe innermost parts.

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.
