WORD Research this...Sirach 13
- 1 He that toucheth pitch, shall be defiled with it: and he that hath fellowship with the proud, shall put on pride.
- 2 He shall take a burden upon him that hath fellowship with one more honourable than himself. And have no fellowship with one that is richer than thyself.
- 3 What agreement shall the earthen pot have with the kettle? for if they knock one against the other, it shall be broken.
- 4 The rich man hath done wrong, and yet he will fume: but the poor is wronged and must hold his peace.
- 5 If thou give, he will make use of thee: and if thou have nothing, he will forsake thee.
- 6 If thou have any thing, he will live with thee, and will make thee bare, and he will not be sorry for thee.
- 7 If he have need of thee he will deceive thee, and smiling upon thee will put thee in hope; he will speak thee fair, and will say: What wantest thou?
- 8 And he will shame thee by his meats, till he have drawn thee dry twice or thrice, and at last he will laugh at thee: and afterward when he seeth thee, he will forsake thee, and shake his head at thee.
- 9 Humble thyself to God, and wait for his hands.
- 10 Beware that thou be not deceived into folly, and be humbled.
- 11 Be not lowly in thy wisdom, lest being humbled thou be deceived into folly.
- 12 If thou be invited by one that is mightier, withdraw thyself: for so he will invite thee the more.
- 13 Be not troublesome to him, lest thou be put back: and keep not far from him, lest thou be forgotten.
- 14 Affect not to speak with him as an equal, and believe not his many words: for by much talk he will sift thee, and smiling will examine thee concerning thy secrets.
- 15 His cruel mind will lay up thy words: and he will not spare to do thee hurt, and to cast thee into prison.
- 16 Take heed to thyself, and attend diligently to what thou hearest: for thou walkest in danger of thy ruin.
- 17 When thou hearest those things, see as it were in sleep, and thou shalt awake.
- 18 Love God all thy life, and call upon him for thy salvation.
- 19 Every beast loveth its like: so also every man him that is nearest to himself.
- 20 All flesh shall consort with the like to itself, and every man shall associate himself to his like.
- 21 If the wolf shall at any time have fellowship with the lamb, so the sinner with the just.
- 22 What fellowship hath a holy man with a dog, or what part hath the rich with the poor?
- 23 The wild ass is the lion's prey in the desert: so also the poor are devoured by the rich.
- 24 And as humility is an abomination to the proud: so also the rich man abhorreth the poor.
- 25 When a rich man is shaken, he is kept up by his friends: but when a poor man is fallen down, he is thrust away even by his acquaintance.
- 26 When a rich man hath been deceived, he hath many helpers: he hath spoken proud things, and they have justified him.
- 27 The poor man was deceived, and he is rebuked also: he hath spoken wisely, and could have no place.
- 28 The rich man spoke, and all held their peace, and what he said they extol even to the clouds.
- 29 The poor man spoke, and they say: Who is this? and if he stumble, they will overthrow him.
- 30 Riches are good to him that hath no sin in his conscience: and poverty is very wicked in the mouth of the ungodly.
- 31 The heart of a man changeth his countenance, either for good, or for evil.
- 32 The token of a good heart, and a good countenance thou shalt hardly find, and with labour.

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.
