WORD Research this...Proverbs 3
- 1 My son, forget not my law; But let thy heart keep my commandments:
- 2 For length of days, and years of life, And peace, will they add to thee.
- 3 Let not kindness and truth forsake thee: Bind them about thy neck; Write them upon the tablet of thy heart:
- 4 So shalt thou find favor and good understanding In the sight of God and man.
- 5 Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding:
- 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.
- 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes; Fear Jehovah, and depart from evil:
- 8 It will be health to thy navel, And marrow to thy bones.
- 9 Honor Jehovah with thy substance, And with the first-fruits of all thine increase:
- 10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, And thy vats shall overflow with new wine.
- 11 My son, despise not the chastening of Jehovah; Neither be weary of his reproof:
- 12 For whom Jehovah loveth he reproveth, Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
- 13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, And the man that getteth understanding.
- 14 For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, And the profit thereof than fine gold.
- 15 She is more precious than rubies: And none of the things thou canst desire are to be compared unto her.
- 16 Length of days is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and honor.
- 17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.
- 18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: And happy is every one that retaineth her.
- 19 Jehovah by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding he established the heavens.
- 20 By his knowledge the depths were broken up, And the skies drop down the dew.
- 21 My son, let them not depart from thine eyes; Keep sound wisdom and discretion:
- 22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, And grace to thy neck.
- 23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way securely, And thy foot shall not stumble.
- 24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: Yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
- 25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, Neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh:
- 26 For Jehovah will be thy confidence, And will keep thy foot from being taken.
- 27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, When it is in the power of thy hand to do it.
- 28 Say not unto thy neighbor, Go, and come again, And to-morrow I will give; When thou hast it by thee.
- 29 Devise not evil against thy neighbor, Seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
- 30 Strive not with a man without cause, If he have done thee no harm.
- 31 Envy thou not the man of violence, And choose none of his ways.
- 32 For the perverse is an abomination to Jehovah; But his friendship is with the upright.
- 33 The curse of Jehovah is in the house of the wicked; But he blesseth the habitation of the righteous.
- 34 Surely he scoffeth at the scoffers; But he giveth grace unto the lowly.
- 35 The wise shall inherit glory; But shame shall be the promotion of fools.

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.
