WORD Research this...Sirach 51
- 1 A prayer of Jesus the son of Sirach. I will give glory to thee, O Lord, O King, and I will praise thee, O God my Saviour.
- 2 I will give glory to thy name: for thou hast been a helper and protector to me.
- 3 And hast preserved my body from destruction, from the snare of an unjust tongue, and from the lips of them that forge lies, and in the sight of them that stood by, thou hast been my helper.
- 4 And thou hast delivered me, according to the multitude of the mercy of thy name, from them that did roar, prepared to devour.
- 5 Out of the hands of them that sought my life, and from the gates of afflictions, which compassed me about:
- 6 From the oppression of the flame which surrounded me, and in the midst of the fire I was not burnt.
- 7 From the depth of the belly of hell, and from an unclean tongue, and from lying words, from an unjust king, and from a slanderous tongue:
- 8 My soul shall praise the Lord even to death.
- 9 And my life was drawing near to hell beneath.
- 10 They compassed me on every side, and there was no one that would help me. I looked for the succour of men, and there was none.
- 11 I remembered thy mercy, O Lord, and thy works, which are from the beginning of the world.
- 12 How thou deliverest them that wait for thee, O Lord, and savest them out of the hands of the nations.
- 13 Thou hast exalted my dwelling place upon the earth and I have prayed for death to pass away.
- 14 I called upon the Lord, the father of my Lord, that he would not leave me in the day of my trouble, and in the time of the proud without help.
- 15 I will praise thy name continually, and will praise it with thanksgiving, and my prayer was heard.
- 16 And thou hast saved me from destruction, and hast delivered me from the evil time.
- 17 Therefore I will give thanks, and praise thee, and bless the name of the Lord.
- 18 When I was yet young, before I wandered about, I sought for wisdom openly in my prayer.
- 19 I prayed for her before the temple, and unto the very end I will seek after her, and she flourished as a grape soon ripe.
- 20 My heart delighted in her, my foot walked in the right way, from my youth up I sought after her.
- 21 I bowed down my ear a little, and received her.
- 22 I found much wisdom in myself, and profited much therein.
- 23 To him that giveth me wisdom, will I give glory.
- 24 For I have determined to follow her: I have had a zeal for good, and shall not be confounded.
- 25 My soul hath wrestled for her, and in doing it I have been confirmed.
- 26 I stretched forth my hands on high, and I bewailed my ignorance of her.
- 27 I directed my soul to her, and in knowledge I found her.
- 28 I possessed my heart with her from the beginning: therefore I shall not be forsaken.
- 29 My entrails were troubled in seeking her: therefore shall I possess a good possession.
- 30 The Lord hath given me a tongue for my reward: and with it I will praise him.
- 31 Draw near to me, ye unlearned, and gather yourselves together into the hours of discipline.
- 32 Why are ye slow and what do you say of these things? your souls are exceeding thirsty.
- 33 I have opened my mouth, and have spoken: buy her for yourselves without silver,
- 34 And submit your neck to the yoke, and let your soul receive discipline: for she is near at hand to be found.
- 35 Behold with your eyes how I have laboured a little, and have found much rest to myself.
- 36 Receive ye discipline as a great sum of money, and possess abundance of gold by her.
- 37 Let your soul rejoice in his mercy and you shall not be confounded in his praise.
- 38 Work your work before the time, and he will give you your reward in his time.

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.
