WORD Research this...Proverbs 17
- 1 Better a bit of dry bread in peace, than a house full of feasting and violent behaviour.
- 2 A servant who does wisely will have rule over a son causing shame, and will have his part in the heritage among brothers.
- 3 The heating-pot is for silver and the oven-fire for gold, but the Lord is the tester of hearts.
- 4 A wrongdoer gives attention to evil lips, and a man of deceit gives ear to a damaging tongue.
- 5 Whoever makes sport of the poor puts shame on his Maker; and he who is glad because of trouble will not go free from punishment.
- 6 Children's children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their fathers.
- 7 Fair words are not to be looked for from a foolish man, much less are false lips in a ruler.
- 8 An offering of money is like a stone of great price in the eyes of him who has it: wherever he goes, he does well.
- 9 He who keeps a sin covered is looking for love; but he who keeps on talking of a thing makes division between friends.
- 10 A word of protest goes deeper into one who has sense than a hundred blows into a foolish man.
- 11 An uncontrolled man is only looking for trouble, so a cruel servant will be sent against him.
- 12 It is better to come face to face with a bear whose young ones have been taken away than with a foolish man acting foolishly.
- 13 If anyone gives back evil for good, evil will never go away from his house.
- 14 The start of fighting is like the letting out of water: so give up before it comes to blows.
- 15 He who gives a decision for the evil-doer and he who gives a decision against the upright, are equally disgusting to the Lord.
- 16 How will money in the hand of the foolish get him wisdom, seeing that he has no sense?
- 17 A friend is loving at all times, and becomes a brother in times of trouble.
- 18 A man without sense gives his hand in an agreement, and makes himself responsible before his neighbour.
- 19 The lover of fighting is a lover of sin: he who makes high his doorway is looking for destruction.
- 20 Nothing good comes to him whose heart is fixed on evil purposes: and he who has an evil tongue will come to trouble.
- 21 He who has an unwise son gets sorrow for himself, and the father of a foolish son has no joy.
- 22 A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.
- 23 A sinner takes an offering out of his robe, to get a decision for himself in a cause.
- 24 Wisdom is before the face of him who has sense; but the eyes of the foolish are on the ends of the earth.
- 25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitter pain to her who gave him birth.
- 26 To give punishment to the upright is not good, or to give blows to the noble for their righteousness.
- 27 He who has knowledge says little: and he who has a calm spirit is a man of good sense.
- 28 Even the foolish man, when he keeps quiet, is taken to be wise: when his lips are shut he is credited with good sense.

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.
