WORD Research this...Proverbs 21
- 1 The king's heart in the hands of the Lord is like the water streams, and by him it is turned in any direction at his pleasure.
- 2 Every way of a man seems right to himself, but the Lord is the tester of hearts.
- 3 To do what is right and true is more pleasing to the Lord than an offering.
- 4 A high look and a heart of pride, *** of the evil-doer is sin.
- 5 The purposes of the man of industry have their outcome only in wealth; but one who is over-quick in acting will only come to be in need.
- 6 He who gets stores of wealth by a false tongue, is going after what is only breath, and searching for death.
- 7 By their violent acts the evil-doers will be pulled away, because they have no desire to do what is right.
- 8 Twisted is the way of him who is full of crime; but as for him whose heart is clean, his work is upright.
- 9 It is better to be living in an angle of the house-top, than with a bitter-tongued woman in a wide house.
- 10 The desire of the evil-doer is fixed on evil: he has no kind feeling for his neighbour.
- 11 When the man of pride undergoes punishment, the simple man gets wisdom; and by watching the wise he gets knowledge.
- 12 The Upright One, looking on the house of the evil-doer, lets sinners be overturned to their destruction.
- 13 He whose ears are stopped at the cry of the poor, will himself get no answer to his cry for help.
- 14 By a secret offering wrath is turned away, and the heat of angry feelings by money in the folds of the robe.
- 15 It is a joy to the good man to do right, but it is destruction to the workers of evil.
- 16 The wanderer from the way of knowledge will have his resting-place among the shades.
- 17 The lover of pleasure will be a poor man: the lover of wine and oil will not get wealth.
- 18 The evil-doer will be given as a price for the life of the good man, and the worker of deceit in the place of the upright.
- 19 It is better to be living in a waste land, than with a bitter-tongued and angry woman.
- 20 There is a store of great value in the house of the wise, but it is wasted by the foolish man.
- 21 He who goes after righteousness and mercy will get life, righteousness, and honour.
- 22 A wise man goes up into the town of the strong ones, and overcomes its strength in which they put their faith.
- 23 He who keeps watch over his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.
- 24 The man of pride, lifted up in soul, is named high-hearted; he is acting in an outburst of pride.
- 25 The desire of the hater of work is death to him, for his hands will do no work.
- 26 All the day the sinner goes after his desire: but the upright man gives freely, keeping nothing back.
- 27 The offering of evil-doers is disgusting: how much more when they give it with an evil purpose!
- 28 A false witness will be cut off, ...
- 29 The evil-doer makes his face hard, but as for the upright, he gives thought to his way.
- 30 Wisdom and knowledge and wise suggestions are of no use against the Lord.
- 31 The horse is made ready for the day of war, but power to overcome is from the Lord.

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.
