WORD Research this...Sirach 34
- 1 The hopes of a man that is void of understanding are vain and deceitful: and dreams lift up fools.
- 2 The man that giveth heed to lying visions, is like to him that catcheth at a shadow, and followeth after the wind.
- 3 The vision of dreams is the resemblance of one thing to another: as when a man's likeness is before the face of a man.
- 4 What can be made clean by the unclean? and what truth can come from that which is false?
- 5 Deceitful divinations and lying omens and the dreams of evildoers, are vanity:
- 6 And the heart fancieth as that of a woman in travail: except it be a vision sent forth from the most High, set not thy heart upon them.
- 7 For dreams have deceived many, and they have failed that put their trust in them.
- 8 The word of the law shall be fulfilled without a lie, and wisdom shall be made plain in the mouth of the faithful.
- 9 What doth he know, that hath not been tried? A man that hath much experience, shall think of many things: and he that hath learned many things, shall shew forth understanding.
- 10 He that hath no experience, knoweth little: and he that hath been experienced in many things, multiplieth prudence.
- 11 He that hath not been tried, what manner of things doth he know? he that hath been surprised, shall abound with subtlety.
- 12 I have seen many things by travelling, and many customs of things.
- 13 Sometimes I have been in danger of death for these things, and I have been delivered by the grace of God.
- 14 The spirit of those that fear God, is sought after, and by his regard shall be blessed.
- 15 For their hope is on him that saveth them, and the eyes of God are upon them that love him.
- 16 He that feareth the Lord shall tremble at nothing, and shall not be afraid: for he is his hope.
- 17 The soul of him that feareth the Lord is blessed.
- 18 To whom doth he look, and who is his strength?
- 19 The eyes of the Lord are upon them that fear him, he is their powerful protector, and strong stay, a defence from the heat, and a cover from the sun at noon,
- 20 A preservation from stumbling, and a help from falling: he raiseth up the soul, and enlighteneth the eyes, and giveth health, and life, and blessing.
- 21 The offering of him that sacrificeth of a thing wrongfully gotten, is stained, and the mockeries of the unjust are not acceptable.
- 22 The Lord is only for them that wait upon him in the way of truth and justice.
- 23 The most High approveth not the gifts of the wicked: neither hath he respect to the oblations of the unjust, nor will he be pacified for sins by the multitude of their sacrifices.
- 24 He that offereth sacrifice of the goods of the poor, is as one that sacrificeth the son in the presence of his father.
- 25 The bread of the needy, is the life of the poor: he that defraudeth them thereof, is a man of blood.
- 26 He that taketh away the bread gotten by sweat, is like him that killeth his neighbour.
- 27 He that sheddeth blood, and he that defraudeth the laborer of his hire, are brothers.
- 28 When one buildeth up, and another pulleth down: what profit have they but the labour?
- 29 When one prayeth, and another curseth: whose voice will God hear?
- 30 He that washeth himself after touching the dead, if he toucheth him again, what doth his washing avail?
- 31 So a man that fasteth for his sins, and doth the same again, what doth his humbling himself profit him? who will hear his prayer?

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.
