WORD Research this...Proverbs 4
- 1 Hear, mysons, the instruction of a father, And attend to know understanding:
- 2 For I give you good doctrine; Forsake ye not my law.
- 3 For I was a son unto my father, Tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
- 4 And he taught me, and said unto me: Let thy heart retain my words; Keep my commandments, and live;
- 5 Get wisdom, get understanding; Forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth;
- 6 Forsake her not, and she will preserve thee; Love her, and she will keep thee.
- 7 Wisdomisthe principal thing; therefore get wisdom; Yea, with all thy getting get understanding.
- 8 Exalt her, and she will promote thee; She will bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her.
- 9 She will give to thy head a chaplet of grace; A crown of beauty will she deliver to thee.
- 10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; And the years of thy life shall be many.
- 11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in paths of uprightness.
- 12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; And if thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
- 13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: Keep her; for she is thy life.
- 14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, And walk not in the way of evil men.
- 15 Avoid it, pass not by it; Turn from it, and pass on.
- 16 For they sleep not, except they do evil; And their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
- 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, And drink the wine of violence.
- 18 But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
- 19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: They know not at what they stumble.
- 20 My son, attend to my words; Incline thine ear unto my sayings.
- 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; Keep them in the midst of thy heart.
- 22 For they are life unto those that find them, And health to all their flesh.
- 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.
- 24 Put away from thee a wayward mouth, And perverse lips put far from thee.
- 25 Let thine eyes look right on, And let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
- 26 Make level the path of thy feet, And let all thy ways be established.
- 27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: Remove thy foot from evil.

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.
