WORD Research this...Sirach 24
- 1 Wisdom shall praise her own self, and shall be honoured in God, and shall glory in the midst of her people,
- 2 And shall open her mouth in the churches of the most High, and shall glorify herself in the sight of his power,
- 3 And in the midst of her own people she shall be exalted, and shall be admired in the holy assembly.
- 4 And in the multitude of the elect she shall have praise, and among the blessed she shall be blessed, saying:
- 5 I came out of the mouth of the most High, the firstborn before all creatures:
- 6 I made that in the heavens there should rise light that never faileth, and as a cloud I covered all the earth:
- 7 I dwelt in the highest places, and my throne is in a pillar of a cloud.
- 8 I alone have compassed the circuit of heaven, and have penetrated into the bottom of the deep, and have walked in the waves of the sea,
- 9 And have stood in all the earth: and in every people,
- 10 And in every nation I have had the chief rule:
- 11 And by my power I have trodden under my feet the hearts of all the high and low: and in all these I sought rest, and I shall abide in the inheritance of the Lord.
- 12 Then the creator of all things commanded, and said to me: and he that made me, rested in my tabernacle,
- 13 And he said to me: Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thy inheritance in Israel, and take root in my elect.
- 14 From the beginning, and before the world, was I created, and unto the world to come I shall not cease to be, and in the holy dwelling place I have ministered before him.
- 15 And so was I established in Sion, and in the holy city likewise I rested, and my power was in Jerusalem.
- 16 And I took root in an honourable people, and in the portion of my God his inheritance, and my abode is in the full assembly of saints.
- 17 I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress tree on mount Sion.
- 18 I was exalted like a palm tree in Cades, and as a rose plant in Jericho:
- 19 As a fair olive tree in the plains, and as a plane tree by the water in the streets, was I exalted.
- 20 I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon, and aromatical balm: I yielded a sweet odour like the best myrrh:
- 21 And I perfumed my dwelling as storax, and galbanum, and onyx, and aloes, and as the frankincense not cut, and my odour is as the purest balm.
- 22 I have stretched out my branches as the turpentine tree, and my branches are of honour and grace.
- 23 As the vine I have brought forth a pleasant odour: and my flowers are the fruit of honour and riches.
- 24 I am the mother of fair love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope.
- 25 In me is all grace of the way and of the truth, in me is all hope of life and of virtue.
- 26 Come over to me, all ye that desire me, and be filled with my fruits.
- 27 For my spirit is sweet above honey, and my inheritance above honey and the honeycomb.
- 28 My memory is unto everlasting generations.
- 29 They that eat me, shall yet hunger: and they that drink me, shall yet thirst.
- 30 He that hearkeneth to me, shall not be confounded: and they that work by me, shall not sin.
- 31 They that explain me shall have life everlasting.
- 32 All these things are the book of life, and the covenant of the most High, and the knowledge of truth.
- 33 Moses commanded a law in the precepts of justices, and an inheritance to the house of Jacob, and the promises to Israel.
- 34 He appointed to David his servant to raise up of him a most mighty king, and sitting on the throne of glory for ever.
- 35 Who filleth up wisdom as the Phison, and as the Tigris in the days of the new fruits.
- 36 Who maketh understanding to abound as the Euphrates, who multiplieth it as the Jordan in the time of harvest.
- 37 Who sendeth knowledge as the light, and riseth up as Gehon in the time of the vintage.
- 38 Who first hath perfect knowledge of her, and a weaker shall not search her out.
- 39 For her thoughts are more vast than the sea, and her counsels more deep than the great ocean.
- 40 I, wisdom, have poured out rivers.
- 41 I, like a brook out of a river of a mighty water; I, like a channel of a river, and like an aqueduct, came out of paradise.
- 42 I said: I will water my garden of plants, and I will water abundantly the fruits of my meadow.
- 43 And behold my brook became a great river, and my river came near to a sea:
- 44 For I make doctrine to shine forth to all as the morning light, and I will declare it afar off.
- 45 I will penetrate to all the lower parts of the earth, and will behold all that sleep, and will enlighten all that hope in the Lord.
- 46 I will yet pour out doctrine as prophecy, and will leave it to them that seek wisdom, and will not cease to instruct their offspring even to the holy age.
- 47 See ye that I have not laboured myself only, but for all that seek out the truth.

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.
