    Proverbs 24
    • 1   Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
    • 2   For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
    • 3   Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
    • 4   And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
    • 5   A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
    • 6   For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
    • 7   Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
    • 8   He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.
    • 9   The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
    • 10   If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
    • 11   If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
    • 12   If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
    • 13   My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
    • 14   So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
    • 15   Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
    • 16   For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
    • 17   Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
    • 18   Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
    • 19   Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;
    • 20   For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
    • 21   My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
    • 22   For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
    • 23   These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
    • 24   He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
    • 25   But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
    • 26   Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.
    • 27   Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
    • 28   Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.
    • 29   Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
    • 30   I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
    • 31   And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
    • 32   Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
    • 33   Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
    • 34   So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

  • 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.
