WORD Research this...Proverbs 30
- 1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; the oracle. The man saith unto Ithiel, unto Ithiel and Ucal:
- 2 Surely I am more brutish than any man, And have not the understanding of a man;
- 3 And I have not learned wisdom, Neither have I the knowledge of the Holy One.
- 4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in his garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou knowest?
- 5 Every word of God is tried: He is a shield unto them that take refuge in him.
- 6 Add thou not unto his words, Lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
- 7 Two things have I asked of thee; Deny methemnot before I die:
- 8 Remove far from me falsehood and lies; Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is needful for me:
- 9 Lest I be full, and denythee, and say, Who is Jehovah? Or lest I be poor, and steal, And use profanely the name of my God.
- 10 Slander not a servant unto his master, Lest he curse thee, and thou be held guilty.
- 11 There is a generation that curse their father, And bless not their mother.
- 12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, Andyetare not washed from their filthiness.
- 13 There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up.
- 14 There is a generation whose teeth areasswords, and their jaw teethasknives, To devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
- 15 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, Yea, four that say not, Enough:
- 16 Sheol; and the barren womb; The earth that is not satisfied with water; And the fire that saith not, Enough.
- 17 The eye that mocketh at his father, And despiseth to obey his mother, The ravens of the valley shall pick it out, And the young eagles shall eat it.
- 18 There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Yea, four which I know not:
- 19 The way of an eagle in the air; The way of a serpent upon a rock; The way of a ship in the midst of the sea; And the way of a man with a maiden.
- 20 So is the way of an adulterous woman; She eateth, and wipeth her mouth, And saith, I have done no wickedness.
- 21 For three things the earth doth tremble, And for four, whichit cannot bear:
- 22 For a servant when he is king; And a fool when he is filled with food;
- 23 For an odious woman when she is married; And a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
- 24 There are four things which are little upon the earth, But they are exceeding wise:
- 25 The ants are a people not strong, Yet they provide their food in the summer;
- 26 The conies are but a feeble folk, Yet make they their houses in the rocks;
- 27 The locusts have no king, Yet go they forth all of them by bands;
- 28 The lizard taketh hold with her hands, Yet is she in kings’ palaces.
- 29 There are three things which are stately in their march, Yea, four which are stately in going:
- 30 The lion, which is mightiest among beasts, And turneth not away for any;
- 31 The greyhound; the he-goat also; And the king against whom there is no rising up.
- 32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, Or if thou hast thought evil, Lay thy hand upon thy mouth.
- 33 For the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood; So the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

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.
