WORD Research this...Sirach 8
- 1 Strive not with a powerful man, lest thou fall into his hands.
- 2 Contend not with a rich man, lest he bring an action against thee.
- 3 For gold and silver hath destroyed many, and hath reached even to the heart of kings, and perverted them.
- 4 Strive not with a man that is full of tongue, and heap not wood upon his fire.
- 5 Communicate not with an ignorant man, lest he speak ill of thy family.
- 6 Despise not a man that turneth away from sin, nor reproach him therewith: remember that we are all worthy of reproof.
- 7 Despise not a man in his old age; for we also shall become old.
- 8 Rejoice not at the death of thy enemy; knowing that we all die, and are not willing that others should rejoice at our death.
- 9 Despise not the discourse of them that are ancient and wise, but acquaint thyself with their proverbs.
- 10 For of them thou shalt learn wisdom, and instruction of understanding, and to serve great men without blame.
- 11 Let not the discourse of the ancients escape thee, for they have learned of their fathers:
- 12 For of them thou shalt learn understanding, and to give an answer in time of need.
- 13 Kindle not the coals of sinners by rebuking them, lest thou be burnt with the flame of the fire of their sins.
- 14 Stand not against the face of an injurious person, lest he sit as a spy to entrap thee in thy words.
- 15 Lend not to a man that is mightier than thyself: and if thou lendest, count it as lost.
- 16 Be not surety above thy power: and if thou be surety, think as if thou wert to pay it.
- 17 Judge not against a judge: for he judgeth according to that which is just.
- 18 Go not on the way with a bold man, lest he burden thee with his evils: for he goeth according to his own will, and thou shalt perish together with his folly.
- 19 Quarrel not with a passionate man, and go not into the desert with a bold man: for blood is as nothing in his sight, and where there is no help he will overthrow thee.
- 20 Advise not with fools, for they cannot love but such things as please them.
- 21 Before a stranger do no matter of counsel: for thou knowest not what he will bring forth.
- 22 Open not thy heart to every man: lest he repay thee with an evil turn, and speak reproachfully 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.
