WORD Research this...Proverbs 7
- 1 My son, keep my sayings, and let my rules be stored up with you.
- 2 Keep my rules and you will have life; let my teaching be to you as the light of your eyes;
- 3 Let them be fixed to your fingers, and recorded in your heart.
- 4 Say to wisdom, You are my sister; let knowledge be named your special friend:
- 5 So that they may keep you from the strange woman, even from her whose words are smooth.
- 6 Looking out from my house, and watching through the window,
- 7 I saw among the young men one without sense,
- 8 Walking in the street near the turn of her road, going on the way to her house,
- 9 At nightfall, in the evening of the day, in the black dark of the night.
- 10 And the woman came out to him, in the dress of a loose woman, with a designing heart;
- 11 She is full of noise and uncontrolled; her feet keep not in her house.
- 12 Now she is in the street, now in the open spaces, waiting at every turning of the road.
- 13 So she took him by his hand, kissing him, and without a sign of shame she said to him:
- 14 I have a feast of peace-offerings, for today my oaths have been effected.
- 15 So I came out in the hope of meeting you, looking for you with care, and now I have you.
- 16 My bed is covered with cushions of needlework, with coloured cloths of the cotton thread of Egypt;
- 17 I have made my bed sweet with perfumes and spices.
- 18 Come, let us take our pleasure in love till the morning, having joy in love's delights.
- 19 For the master of the house is away on a long journey:
- 20 He has taken a bag of money with him; he is coming back at the full moon.
- 21 With her fair words she overcame him, forcing him with her smooth lips.
- 22 The simple man goes after her, like an ox going to its death, like a roe pulled by a cord;
- 23 Like a bird falling into a net; with no thought that his life is in danger, till an arrow goes into his side.
- 24 So now, my sons, give ear to me; give attention to the sayings of my mouth;
- 25 Let not your heart be turned to her ways, do not go wandering in her footsteps.
- 26 For those wounded and made low by her are great in number; and all those who have come to their death through her are a great army.
- 27 Her house is the way to the underworld, going down to the rooms of death.

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.
