    Proverbs 8
    • 1   Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
    • 2   She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
    • 3   She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
    • 4   Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
    • 5   O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
    • 6   Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
    • 7   For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
    • 8   All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
    • 9   They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
    • 10   Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
    • 11   For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
    • 12   I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
    • 13   The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
    • 14   Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
    • 15   By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
    • 16   By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
    • 17   I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
    • 18   Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
    • 19   My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
    • 20   I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
    • 21   That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
    • 22   The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
    • 23   I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
    • 24   When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
    • 25   Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
    • 26   While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
    • 27   When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
    • 28   When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
    • 29   When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
    • 30   Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
    • 31   Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
    • 32   Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
    • 33   Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
    • 34   Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
    • 35   For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord.
    • 36   But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

  • 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.
