WORD Research this...Sirach 4
- 1 Son, defraud not the poor of alms, and turn not away thy eyes from the poor.
- 2 Despise not the hungry soul: and provoke not the poor in his want.
- 3 Afflict not the heart of the needy, and defer not to gibe to him that is in distress.
- 4 Reject not the petition of the afflicted: and turn not away thy face from the needy.
- 5 Turn not away thy eyes from the poor for fear of anger: and leave not to them that ask of thee to curse thee behind thy back.
- 6 For the prayer of him that curseth thee in the bitterness of his soul, shall be heard, for he that made him will hear him.
- 7 Make thyself affable to the congregation of the poor, and humble thy soul to the ancient, and bow thy head to a great man.
- 8 Bow down thy ear cheerfully to the poor, and pay what thou owest, and answer him peaceable words with mildness.
- 9 Deliver him that suffereth wrong out of the hand of the proud: and be not fainthearted in thy soul.
- 10 In judging be merciful to the fatherless as a father, and as a husband to their mother.
- 11 And thou shalt be as the obedient son of the most High, and he will have mercy on thee more than a mother.
- 12 Wisdom inspireth life into her children, and protecteth them that seek after her, and will go before them in the way of justice.
- 13 And he that loveth her, loveth life: and they that watch for her, shall embrace her sweetness.
- 14 They that hold her fast, shall inherit life: and whithersoever she entereth, God will give a blessing.
- 15 They that serve her, shall be servants to the holy one: and God loveth them that love her.
- 16 He that hearkeneth to her, shall judge nations: and he that looketh upon her, shall remain secure.
- 17 If he trust to her, he shall inherit her, and his generation shall be in assurance.
- 18 For she walketh with him in temptation, and at the first she chooseth him.
- 19 She will bring upon him fear and dread and trial: and she will scourge him with the affliction of her discipline, till she try him by her laws, and trust his soul.
- 20 Then she will strengthen him, and make a straight way to him, and give him joy,
- 21 And will disclose her secrets to him, and will heap upon him treasures of knowledge and understanding of justice.
- 22 But if he go astray, she will forsake him, and deliver him into the hands of his enemy.
- 23 Son, observe the time, and fly from evil.
- 24 For thy soul be not ashamed to say the truth.
- 25 For there is a shame that bringeth sin, and there is a shame that bringeth glory and grace.
- 26 Accept no person against thy own person, nor against thy soul a lie.
- 27 Reverence not thy neighbour in his fall:
- 28 And refrain not to speak in the time of salvation. Hide not thy wisdom in her beauty.
- 29 For by the tongue wisdom is discerned: and understanding, and knowledge, and learning by the word of the wise, and steadfastness in the works of justice.
- 30 In nowise speak against the truth, but be ashamed of the lie of thy ignorance.
- 31 Be not ashamed to confess thy sins, but submit not thyself to every man for sin.
- 32 Resist not against the face of the mighty, and do not strive against the stream of the river.
- 33 Strive for justice for thy soul, and even unto death fight for justice, and God will overthrow thy enemies for thee.
- 34 Be not hasty in thy tongue: and slack and remiss in thy works.
- 35 Be not as a lion in thy house, terrifying them of thy household, and oppressing them that are under thee.
- 36 Let not thy hand be stretched out to receive, and shut when thou shouldst give.

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.
