WORD Research this...Proverbs 24
- 1 Be not thou envious against evil men; Neither desire to be with them:
- 2 For their heart studieth oppression, And their lips talk of mischief.
- 3 Through wisdom is a house builded; And by understanding it is established;
- 4 And by knowledge are the chambers filled With all precious and pleasant riches.
- 5 A wise man is strong; Yea, a man of knowledge increaseth might.
- 6 For by wise guidance thou shalt make thy war; And in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
- 7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: He openeth not his mouth in the gate.
- 8 He that deviseth to do evil, Men shall call him a mischief-maker.
- 9 The thought of foolishness is sin; And the scoffer is an abomination to men.
- 10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, Thy strength is small.
- 11 Deliver them that are carried away unto death, And those that are ready to be slain see that thou hold back.
- 12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew not this; Doth not he that weigheth the hearts consider it? And he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? And shall not he render to every man according to his work?
- 13 My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; And the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to thy taste:
- 14 So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul; If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, And thy hope shall not be cut off.
- 15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous; Destroy not his resting-place:
- 16 For a righteous man falleth seven times, and riseth up again; But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
- 17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, And let not thy heart be glad when he is overthrown;
- 18 Lest Jehovah see it, and it displease him, And he turn away his wrath from him.
- 19 Fret not thyself because of evil-doers; Neither be thou envious at the wicked:
- 20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; The lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
- 21 My son, fear thou Jehovah and the king; And company not with them that are given to change:
- 22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; And the destruction from them both, who knoweth it?
- 23 These also aresayingsof the wise. To have respect of persons in judgment is not good.
- 24 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous, Peoples shall curse him, nations shall abhor him;
- 25 But to them that rebukehim shall be delight, And a good blessing shall come upon them.
- 26 He kisseth the lips Who giveth a right answer.
- 27 Prepare thy work without, And make it ready for thee in the field; And afterwards build thy house.
- 28 Be not a witness against thy neighbor without cause; And deceive not with thy lips.
- 29 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me; I will render to the man according to his work.
- 30 I went by the field of the sluggard, And by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
- 31 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, The face thereof was covered with nettles, And the stone wall thereof was broken down.
- 32 Then I beheld, and considered well; I saw, and received instruction:
- 33 Yeta little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep;
- 34 So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.

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.
