WORD Research this...Proverbs 24
- 1 Have no envy for evil men, or any desire to be with them:
- 2 For the purposes of their hearts are destruction, and their lips are talking of trouble.
- 3 The building of a house is by wisdom, and by reason it is made strong:
- 4 And by knowledge its rooms are full of all dear and pleasing things.
- 5 A wise man is strong; and a man of knowledge makes strength greater.
- 6 For by wise guiding you will overcome in war: and in a number of wise guides there is salvation.
- 7 Wisdom is outside the power of the foolish: he keeps his mouth shut in the public place.
- 8 He whose purposes are bad will be named a man of evil designs.
- 9 The purpose of the foolish is sin: and the hater of authority is disgusting to others.
- 10 If you give way in the day of trouble, your strength is small.
- 11 Be the saviour of those who are given up to death, and do not keep back help from those who are slipping to destruction.
- 12 If you say, See, we had no knowledge of this: does not the tester of hearts give thought to it? and he who keeps your soul, has he no knowledge of it? and will he not give to every man the reward of his work?
- 13 My son, take honey, for it is good; and the flowing honey, which is sweet to your taste:
- 14 So let your desire be for wisdom: if you have it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
- 15 Do not keep a secret watch, O evil-doer, against the fields of the upright man, or send destruction on his resting-place:
- 16 For an upright man, after falling seven times, will get up again: but trouble is the downfall of the evil.
- 17 Do not be glad at the fall of your hater, and let not your heart have joy at his downfall:
- 18 For fear that the Lord may see it, and it may be evil in his eyes, and his wrath may be turned away from him.
- 19 Do not be troubled because of evil-doers, or have envy of sinners:
- 20 For there will be no future for the evil man; the light of sinners will be put out.
- 21 My son, go in fear of the Lord and the king: have nothing to do with those who are in high positions:
- 22 For their downfall will come suddenly; and who has knowledge of the destruction of those in high positions?
- 23 These are more sayings of the wise: To have respect for a person's position when judging is not good.
- 24 He who says to the evil-doer, You are upright, will be cursed by peoples and hated by nations.
- 25 But those who say sharp words to him will have delight, and a blessing of good will come on them.
- 26 He gives a kiss with his lips who gives a right answer.
- 27 Put your work in order outside, and make it ready in the field; and after that, see to the building of your house.
- 28 Do not be a violent witness against your neighbour, or let your lips say what is false.
- 29 Say not, I will do to him as he has done to me; I will give the man the reward of his work.
- 30 I went by the field of the hater of work, and by the vine-garden of the man without sense;
- 31 And it was all full of thorns, and covered with waste plants, and its stone wall was broken down.
- 32 Then looking at it, I gave thought: I saw, and I got teaching from it.
- 33 A little sleep, a little rest, a little folding of the hands in sleep:
- 34 So loss will come on you like an outlaw, and your need like an armed man.

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.
