WORD Research this...Proverbs 28
- 1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth; But the righteous are bold as a lion.
- 2 For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof; But by men of understandingandknowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
- 3 A needy man that oppresseth the poor Islikea sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
- 4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked; But such as keep the law contend with them.
- 5 Evil men understand not justice; But they that seek Jehovah understand all things.
- 6 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, Than he that is perverse inhisways, though he be rich.
- 7 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son; But he that is a companion of gluttons shameth his father.
- 8 He that augmenteth his substance by interest and increase, Gathereth it for him that hath pity on the poor.
- 9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.
- 10 Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, He shall fall himself into his own pit; But the perfect shall inherit good.
- 11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; But the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
- 12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; But when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
- 13 He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper; But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy.
- 14 Happy is the man that feareth alway; But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
- 15 Asa roaring lion, and a ranging bear, So isa wicked ruler over a poor people.
- 16 The prince that lacketh understanding is also a great oppressor; Buthe that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
- 17 A man that is laden with the blood of any person Shall flee unto the pit; let no man stay him.
- 18 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be delivered; But he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
- 19 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread; But he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
- 20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings; But he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be unpunished.
- 21 To have respect of persons is not good; Neither that a man should transgress for a piece of bread.
- 22 He that hath an evil eye hasteth after riches, And knoweth not that want shall come upon him.
- 23 He that rebuketh a man shall afterward find more favor Than he that flattereth with the tongue.
- 24 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression, The same is the companion of a destroyer.
- 25 He that is of a greedy spirit stirreth up strife; But he that putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be made fat.
- 26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool; But whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
- 27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack; But he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
- 28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; But when they perish, the righteous increase.

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.
