WORD Research this...Sirach 48
- 1 And Elias the prophet stood up, as a fire, and his word burnt like a torch.
- 2 He brought a famine upon them, and they that provoked him in their envy, were reduced to a small number, for they could not endure the commandments of the Lord.
- 3 By the word of the Lord he shut up the heaven, and he brought down fire from heaven thrice.
- 4 Thus was Elias magnified in his wondrous works. And who can glory like to thee?
- 5 Who raisedst up a dead man from below, from the lot of death, by the word of the Lord God.
- 6 Who broughtest down kings to destruction, and brokest easily their power in pieces, and the glorious from their bed.
- 7 Who heardest judgment in Sina, and in Horeb the judgments of vengeance.
- 8 Who anointedst kings to penance, and madest prophets successors after thee.
- 9 Who wast taken up in a whirlwind of fire, in a chariot of fiery horses.
- 10 Who art registered in the judgments of times to appease the wrath of the Lord, to reconcile the heart of the father to the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob.
- 11 Blessed are they that saw thee, and were honoured with thy friendship.
- 12 For we live only in our life, but after death our name shall not be such.
- 13 Elias was indeed covered with the whirlwind, and his spirit was filled up in Eliseus: in his days he feared not the prince, and no man was more powerful than he.
- 14 No word could overcome him, and after death his body prophesied.
- 15 In his life he did great wonders, and in death he wrought miracles.
- 16 For all this the people repented not, neither did they depart from their sins till they were cast out of their land, and were scattered through all the earth.
- 17 And there was left but a small people, and a prince in the house of David.
- 18 Some of these did that which pleased God: but others committed many sins.
- 19 Ezechias fortified his city, and brought in water into the midst thereof, and he digged a rock with iron, and made a well for water.
- 20 In his days Sennacherib came up, and sent Rabsaces, and lifted up his hand against them, and he stretched out his hand against Sion, and became proud through his power.
- 21 Then their hearts and hands trembled, and they were in pain as women in travail.
- 22 And they called upon the Lord who is merciful, and spreading their hands, they lifted them up to heaven: and the holy Lord God quickly heard their voice.
- 23 He was not mindful of their sins, neither did he deliver them up to their enemies, but he purified them by the hand of Isaias, the holy prophet.
- 24 He overthrew the army of the Assyrians, and the angel of the Lord destroyed them.
- 25 For Ezechias did that which pleased God, and walked valiantly in the way of David his father, which Isaias, the great prophet, and faithful in the sight of God, had commanded him.
- 26 In his days the sun wen backward, and he lengthened the king's life.
- 27 With a great spirit he saw the things that are to come to pass at last, and comforted the mourners in Sion.
- 28 He showed what should come to pass for ever, and secret things before they came.

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.
