    Proverbs 16
    • 1   The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.
    • 2   All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.
    • 3   Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.
    • 4   The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
    • 5   Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
    • 6   By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
    • 7   When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
    • 8   Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
    • 9   A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.
    • 10   A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
    • 11   A just weight and balance are the Lord’s: all the weights of the bag are his work.
    • 12   It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
    • 13   Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
    • 14   The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
    • 15   In the light of the king’s countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
    • 16   How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
    • 17   The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
    • 18   Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
    • 19   Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
    • 20   He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.
    • 21   The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
    • 22   Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
    • 23   The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
    • 24   Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
    • 25   There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
    • 26   He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
    • 27   An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
    • 28   A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
    • 29   A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
    • 30   He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
    • 31   The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
    • 32   He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
    • 33   The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord.

  • King James Version (kjv - 3.1)

    2023-07-19

    English (en)

    This is the King James Version of the Holy Bible (also known as the Authorized Version) with embedded Strong's Numbers. The rights to the base text are held by the Crown of England.
    The Strong's numbers in the OT were obtained from The Bible Foundation: http://www.bf.org. The NT Strong's data was obtained from The KJV2003 Project at CrossWire: http://www.crosswire.org. These mechanisms provide a useful means for looking up the exact original language word in a lexicon that is keyed to Strong's numbers.

    Special thanks to the volunteers at Bible Foundation for keying the Hebrew/English data and of Project KJV2003 for working toward the completion of synchronizing the English phrases to the Stephanas Textus Receptus, and to Dr. Maurice Robinson for providing the base Greek text with Strong's and Morphology.
    We are also appreciative of formatting markup that was provided by Michael Paul Johnson at http://www.ebible.org. Their time and generosity to contribute such for the free use of the Body of Christ is a great blessing and this derivitive work could not have been possible without these efforts of so many individuals.
    Version 3.1 incorporates a more recent set of TR data from Dr. Maurice Robinson than was used in all the earlier versions. The TR data was obtained in 2016 from the Greek New Testament sources website
    https://sites.google.com/a/wmail.fi/greeknt/home/greeknt
    This was integrated into the OSIS source files of an intermediate version 2.9a hosted at
    https://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/kjv2011/kjv2.9a/
    It is in this spirit that we in turn offer the KJV2003 Project text freely for any purpose.
    Any copyright that might be obtained for this effort is held by CrossWire Bible Society © 2003-2023 and CrossWire Bible Society hereby grants a general public license to use this text for any purpose.

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.
