WORD Research this...Sirach 38
- 1 Honour the physician for the need thou hast of him: for the most High hath created him.
- 2 For all healing is from God, and he shall receive gifts of the king.
- 3 The skill of the physician shall lift up his head, and in the sight of great men he shall be praised.
- 4 The most High hath created medicines out of the earth, and a wise man will not abhor them.
- 5 Was not bitter water made sweet with wood?
- 6 The virtue of these things is come to the knowledge of men, and the most High hath given knowledge to men, that he may be honoured in his wonders.
- 7 By these he shall cure and shall allay their pains, and of these the apothecary shall make sweet confections, and shall make up ointments of health, and of his works there shall be no end.
- 8 For the peace of God is over all the face of the earth.
- 9 My son, in thy sickness neglect not thyself, but pray to the Lord, and he shall heal thee.
- 10 Turn away from sin and order thy hands aright, and cleanse thy heart from all offence.
- 11 Give a sweet savour, and a memorial of fine flour, and make a fat offering, and then give place to the physician.
- 12 For the Lord created him: and let him not depart from thee, for his works are necessary.
- 13 For there is a time when thou must fall into their hands:
- 14 And they shall beseech the Lord, that he would prosper what they give for ease and remedy, for their conversation.
- 15 He that sinneth in the sight of his Maker, shall fall into the hands of the physician.
- 16 My son, shed tears over the dead, and begin to lament as if thou hadst suffered some great harm, and according to judgment cover his body, and neglect not his burial.
- 17 And for fear of being ill spoken of weep bitterly for a day, and then comfort thyself in thy sadness.
- 18 And make mourning for him according to his merit for a day, or two, for fear of detraction.
- 19 For of sadness cometh death, and it overwhelmeth the strength, and the sorrow of the heart boweth down the neck.
- 20 In withdrawing aside sorrow remaineth: and the substance of the poor is according to his heart.
- 21 Give not up thy heart to sadness, but drive it from thee: and remember the latter end.
- 22 Forget it not: for there is no returning, and thou shalt do him no good, and shalt hurt thyself.
- 23 Remember my judgment: for thine also shall be so: yesterday for me, and to day for thee.
- 24 When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance rest, and comfort him in the departing of his spirit.
- 25 The wisdom of a scribe cometh by his time of leisure: and he that is less in action, shall receive wisdom.
- 26 With what wisdom shall he be furnished that holdeth the plough, and that glorieth in the goad, that driveth the oxen therewith, and is occupied in their labours, and his whole talk is about the offspring of bulls?
- 27 He shall give his mind to turn up furrows, and his care is to give the kine fodder.
- 28 So every craftsman and workmaster that laboureth night and day, he who maketh graven seals, and by his continual diligence varieth the figure: he shall give his mind to the resemblance of the picture, and by his watching shall finish the work.
- 29 So doth the smith sitting by the anvil and considering the iron work. The vapour of the fire wasteth his flesh, and he fighteth with the heat of the furnace.
- 30 The noise of the hammer is always in his ears, and his eye is upon the pattern of the vessel he maketh.
- 31 He setteth his mind to finish his work, and his watching to polish them to perfection.
- 32 So doth the potter sitting at his work, turning the wheel about with his feet, who is always carefully set to his work, and maketh all his work by number:
- 33 He fashioneth the clay with his arm, and boweth down his strength before his feet:
- 34 He shall give his mind to finish the glazing, and his watching to make clean the furnace.
- 35 All these trust to their hands, and every one is wise in his own art.
- 36 Without these a city is not built.
- 37 And they shall not dwell, nor walk about therein, and they shall not go up into the assembly.
- 38 Upon the judges' seat they shall not sit, and the ordinance of judgment they shall not understand, neither shall they declare discipline and judgment, and they shall not be found where parables are spoken:
- 39 But they shall strengthen the state of the world, and their prayer shall be in the work of their craft, applying their soul, and searching in the law of the most High.

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.
