WORD Research this...Proverbs 6
- 1 My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbor, If thou hast stricken thy hands for a stranger;
- 2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, Thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
- 3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, Seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbor: Go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbor;
- 4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, Nor slumber to thine eyelids;
- 5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
- 6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise:
- 7 Which having no chief, Overseer, or ruler,
- 8 Provideth her bread in the summer, And gathereth her food in the harvest.
- 9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
- 10 Yeta little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep:
- 11 So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.
- 12 A worthless person, a man of iniquity, Is he that walketh with a perverse mouth;
- 13 That winketh with his eyes, that speaketh with his feet, That maketh signs with his fingers;
- 14 In whose heart is perverseness, Who deviseth evil continually, Who soweth discord.
- 15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; On a sudden shall he be broken, and that without remedy.
- 16 There are six things which Jehovah hateth; Yea, seven which are an abomination unto him:
- 17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood;
- 18 A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief,
- 19 A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren.
- 20 My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:
- 21 Bind them continually upon thy heart; Tie them about thy neck.
- 22 When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; When thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee; And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
- 23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
- 24 To keep thee from the evil woman, From the flattery of the foreigner’s tongue.
- 25 Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; Neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
- 26 For on account of a harlota man is broughtto a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.
- 27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?
- 28 Or can one walk upon hot coals, And his feet not be scorched?
- 29 So he that goeth in to his neighbor’s wife; Whosoever toucheth her shall not be unpunished.
- 30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal To satisfy himself when he is hungry:
- 31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; He shall give all the substance of his house.
- 32 He that committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding: He doeth it who would destroy his own soul.
- 33 Wounds and dishonor shall he get; And his reproach shall not be wiped away.
- 34 For jealousy is the rage of a man; And he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
- 35 He will not regard any ransom; Neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

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.
