WORD Research this...Proverbs 7
- 1 My son, keep my words, And lay up my commandments with thee.
- 2 Keep my commandments and live; And my law as the apple of thine eye.
- 3 Bind them upon thy fingers; Write them upon the tablet of thy heart.
- 4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; And call understandingthy kinswoman:
- 5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, From the foreigner that flattereth with her words.
- 6 For at the window of my house I looked forth through my lattice;
- 7 And I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, A young man void of understanding,
- 8 Passing through the street near her corner; And he went the way to her house,
- 9 In the twilight, in the evening of the day, In the middle of the night and in the darkness.
- 10 And, behold, there met him a woman With the attire of a harlot, and wily of heart.
- 11 (She is clamorous and wilful; Her feet abide not in her house:
- 12 Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places, And lieth in wait at every corner.)
- 13 So she caught him, and kissed him, Andwith an impudent face she said unto him:
- 14 Sacrifices of peace-offerings are with me; This day have I paid my vows.
- 15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, Diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
- 16 I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, With striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.
- 17 I have perfumed my bed With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
- 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; Let us solace ourselves with loves.
- 19 For the man is not at home; He is gone a long journey:
- 20 He hath taken a bag of money with him; He will come home at the full moon.
- 21 With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield; With the flattering of her lips she forceth him along.
- 22 He goeth after her straightway, As an ox goeth to the slaughter, Or asone infetters to the correction of the fool;
- 23 Till an arrow strike through his liver; As a bird hasteth to the snare, And knoweth not that it is for his life.
- 24 Now therefore, mysons, hearken unto me, And attend to the words of my mouth.
- 25 Let not thy heart decline to her ways; Go not astray in her paths.
- 26 For she hath cast down many wounded: Yea, all her slain are a mighty host.
- 27 Her house is the way to Sheol, Going down to the chambers of death.

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.
