WORD Research this...Proverbs 23
- 1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Consider diligently him that is before thee;
- 2 And put a knife to thy throat, If thou be a man given to appetite.
- 3 Be not desirous of his dainties; Seeing they are deceitful food.
- 4 Weary not thyself to be rich; Cease from thine own wisdom.
- 5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? Forrichescertainly make themselves wings, Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven.
- 6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, Neither desire thou his dainties:
- 7 For as he thinketh within himself, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; But his heart is not with thee.
- 8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, And lose thy sweet words.
- 9 Speak not in the hearing of a fool; For he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
- 10 Remove not the ancient landmark; And enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
- 11 For their Redeemer is strong; He will plead their cause against thee.
- 12 Apply thy heart unto instruction, And thine ears to the words of knowledge.
- 13 Withhold not correction from the child; Forif thou beat him with the rod, he will not die.
- 14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, And shalt deliver his soul from Sheol.
- 15 My son, if thy heart be wise, My heart will be glad, even mine:
- 16 Yea, my heart will rejoice, When thy lips speak right things.
- 17 Let not thy heart envy sinners; Butbe thouin the fear of Jehovah all the day long:
- 18 For surely there is a reward; And thy hope shall not be cut off.
- 19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, And guide thy heart in the way.
- 20 Be not among winebibbers, Among gluttonous eaters of flesh:
- 21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty; And drowsiness will clothea manwith rags.
- 22 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she is old.
- 23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; Yea, wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
- 24 The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; And he that begetteth a wise child will have joy of him.
- 25 Let thy father and thy mother be glad, And let her that bare thee rejoice.
- 26 My son, give me thy heart; And let thine eyes delight in my ways.
- 27 For a harlot is a deep ditch; And a foreign woman is a narrow pit.
- 28 Yea, she lieth in wait as a robber, And increaseth the treacherous among men.
- 29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? Who hath complaining? who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes?
- 30 They that tarry long at the wine; They that go to seek out mixed wine.
- 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, When it sparkleth in the cup, When it goeth down smoothly:
- 32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, And stingeth like an adder.
- 33 Thine eyes shall behold strange things, And thy heart shall utter perverse things.
- 34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, Or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
- 35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not hurt; They have beaten me, and I felt it not: When shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

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.
