WORD Research this...Proverbs 13
- 1 A wise son is a lover of teaching, but the ears of the haters of authority are shut to sharp words.
- 2 A man will get good from the fruit of his lips, but the desire of the false is for violent acts.
- 3 He who keeps a watch on his mouth keeps his life; but he whose lips are open wide will have destruction.
- 4 The hater of work does not get his desires, but the soul of the hard workers will be made fat.
- 5 The upright man is a hater of false words: the evil-doer gets a bad name and is put to shame.
- 6 Righteousness keeps safe him whose way is without error, but evil-doers are overturned by sin.
- 7 A man may be acting as if he had wealth, but have nothing; another may seem poor, but have great wealth.
- 8 A man will give his wealth in exchange for his life; but the poor will not give ear to sharp words.
- 9 There is a glad dawn for the upright man, but the light of the sinner will be put out.
- 10 The only effect of pride is fighting; but wisdom is with the quiet in spirit.
- 11 Wealth quickly got will become less; but he who gets a store by the work of his hands will have it increased.
- 12 Hope put off is a weariness to the heart; but when what is desired comes, it is a tree of life.
- 13 He who makes sport of the word will come to destruction, but the respecter of the law will be rewarded.
- 14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning men away from the nets of death.
- 15 Wise behaviour gets approval, but the way of the false is their destruction.
- 16 A sharp man does everything with knowledge, but a foolish man makes clear his foolish thoughts.
- 17 A man taking false news is a cause of trouble, but he who gives news rightly makes things well.
- 18 Need and shame will be the fate of him who is uncontrolled by training; but he who takes note of teaching will be honoured.
- 19 To get one's desire is sweet to the soul, but to give up evil is disgusting to the foolish.
- 20 Go with wise men and be wise: but he who keeps company with the foolish will be broken.
- 21 Evil will overtake sinners, but the upright will be rewarded with good.
- 22 The heritage of the good man is handed down to his children's children; and the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the upright man.
- 23 There is much food in the ploughed land of the poor; but it is taken away by wrongdoing.
- 24 He who keeps back his rod is unkind to his son: the loving father gives punishment with care.
- 25 The upright man has food to the full measure of his desire, but there will be no food for the stomach of evil-doers.

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.
