WORD Research this...Wisdom 14
- 1 Again, another designing to sail, and beginning to make his voyage through the raging waves, calleth upon a piece of wood more frail than the wood that carrieth him.
- 2 For this the desire of gain devised, and the workman built it by his skill.
- 3 But thy providence, O Father, governeth it: for thou hast made a way even in the sea, and a most sure path among the waves,
- 4 Shewing that thou art able to save out of all things, yea, though a man went to sea without art.
- 5 But that the works of thy wisdom might not be idle: therefore men also trust their lives even to a little wood, and passing over the sea by ship, are saved.
- 6 And from the beginning also, when the proud giants perished, the hope of the world fleeing to a vessel, which was governed by thy hand, left to the world seed of generation.
- 7 For blessed is the wood, by which justice cometh
- 8 But the idol that is made by hands, is cursed, as well it, as he that made it: he because he made it; and it because being frail it is called a god.
- 9 But to God the wicked and his wickedness are hateful alike.
- 10 For that which is made, together with him that made it, shall suffer torments.
- 11 Therefore there shall be no respect had even to the idols of the Gentiles: because the creatures of God are turned to an abomination, and a temptation to the souls of men, and a snare to the feet of the unwise.
- 12 For the beginning of fornication is the devising of idols: and the invention of them is the corruption of life.
- 13 For neither were they from the beginning, neither shall they be for ever.
- 14 For by the vanity of men they came into the world: and therefore they shall be found to come shortly to an end.
- 15 For a father being afflicted with bitter grief, made to himself the image of his son, who was quickly taken away: and him who then had died as a man, he began now to worship as a god, and appointed him rites and sacrifices among his servants.
- 16 Then, in process of time, wicked custom prevailing, this error was kept as a law, and statues were worshipped by the commandment of tyrants.
- 17 And those whom men could not honour in presence, because they dwelt far off, they brought their resemblance from afar, and made an express image of the king, whom they had a mind to honour: that by this their diligence, they might honour as present, him that was absent.
- 18 And to the worshipping of these, the singular diligence also of the artificer helped to set forward the ignorant.
- 19 For he being willing to please him that employed him, laboured with all his art to make the resemblance in the best manner.
- 20 And the multitude of men, carried away by the beauty of the work, took him now for a god, that little before was but honoured as a man.
- 21 And this was the occasion of deceiving human life: for men serving either their affection, or their kings, gave the incommunicable name to stones and wood.
- 22 And it was not enough for them to err about the knowledge of God, but whereas they lived in a great war of ignorance, they call so many and so great evils peace.
- 23 For either they sacrifice their own children, or use hidden sacrifices, or keep watches full of madness,
- 24 So that now they neither keep life, nor marriage undefiled, but one killeth another through envy, or grieveth him by adultery:
- 25 And all things are mingled together, blood, murder, theft, and dissimulation, corruption and unfaithfulness, tumults and perjury, disquieting of the good,
- 26 Forgetfulness of God, defiling of souls, changing of nature, disorder in marriage, and the irregularity of adultery and uncleanness.
- 27 For the worship of abominable idols is the cause, and the beginning and end of all evil.
- 28 For either they are mad when they are merry: or they prophesy lies, or they live unjustly, or easily forswear themselves.
- 29 For whilst they trust in idols, which are without life, though they swear amiss, they look not to be hurt.
- 30 But for both these things they shall be justly punished, because they have thought not well of God, giving heed to idols, and have sworn unjustly, in guile despising justice.
- 31 For it is not the power of them, by whom they swear, but the just vengeance of sinners always punisheth the transgression of the unjust.

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.
