WORD Research this...Sirach 6
- 1 Instead of a friend become not an enemy to thy neighbour: for an evil man shall inherit reproach and shame, so shall every sinner that is envious and double tongued.
- 2 Extol not thyself in the thoughts of thy soul like a bull: lest thy strength be quashed by folly,
- 3 And it eat up thy leaves, and destroy thy fruit, and thou be left as a dry tree in the wilderness.
- 4 For a wicked soul shall destroy him that hath it, and maketh him to be a joy to his enemies, and shall lead him into the lot of the wicked.
- 5 A sweet word multiplieth friends, and appeaseth enemies, and a gracious tongue in a good man aboundeth.
- 6 Be in peace with many, but let one of a thousand be thy counsellor.
- 7 If thou wouldst get a friend, try him before thou takest him, and do not credit him easily.
- 8 For there is a friend for his own occasion, and he will not abide in the day of thy trouble.
- 9 And there is a friend that turneth to enmity; and there is a friend that will disclose hatred and strife and reproaches.
- 10 And there is a friend a companion at the table, and he will not abide in the day of distress.
- 11 A friend if he continue steadfast, shall be to thee as thyself, and shall act with confidence among them of thy household.
- 12 If he humble himself before thee, and hide himself from thy face, thou shalt have unanimous friendship for good.
- 13 Separate thyself from thy enemies, and take heed of thy friends.
- 14 A faithful friend is a strong defence: and he that hath found him, hath found a treasure.
- 15 Nothing can be compared to a faithful friend, and no weight of gold and silver is able to countervail the goodness of his fidelity.
- 16 A faithful friend is the medicine of life and immortality: and they that fear the Lord, shall find him.
- 17 He that feareth God, shall likewise have good friendship: because according to him shall his friend be.
- 18 My son, from thy youth up receive instruction, and even to thy grey hairs thou shalt find wisdom.
- 19 Come to her as one that plougheth, and soweth, and wait for her good fruits:
- 20 For in working about her thou shalt labour a little, and shalt quickly eat of her fruits.
- 21 How very unpleasant is wisdom to the unlearned, and the unwise will not continue with her.
- 22 She shall be to them as a mighty stone of trial, and they will cast her from them before it be long.
- 23 For the wisdom of doctrine is according to her name, and she is not manifest unto many, but with them to whom she is known, she continueth even to the sight of God.
- 24 Give ear, my son, and take wise counsel, and cast not away my advice.
- 25 Put thy feet into her fetters, and thy neck into her chains:
- 26 Bow down thy shoulder, and bear her, and be not grieved with her bands.
- 27 Come to her with all thy mind, and keep her ways with all thy power.
- 28 Search for her, and she shall be made known to thee, and when thou hast gotten her, let her not go:
- 29 For in the latter end thou shalt find rest in her, and she shall be turned to thy joy.
- 30 Then shall her fetters be a strong defence for thee, and a firm foundation, and her chain a robe of glory:
- 31 For in her is the beauty of life, and her bands are a healthful binding.
- 32 Thou shalt put her on as a robe of glory, and thou shalt set her upon thee as a crown of joy.
- 33 My son, if thou wilt attend to me, thou shalt learn: and if thou wilt apply thy mind, thou shalt be wise.
- 34 If thou wilt incline thy ear, thou shalt receive instruction: and if thou love to hear, thou shalt be wise.
- 35 Stand in the multitude of ancients that are wise, and join thyself from thy heart to their wisdom, that thou mayst hear every discourse of God, and the sayings of praise may not escape thee.
- 36 And if thou see a man of understanding, go to him early in the morning, and let thy foot wear the steps of his doors.
- 37 Let thy thoughts be upon the precepts of God, and meditate continually on his commandments: and he will give thee a heart, and the desire of wisdom shall be given to thee.

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.
