WORD Research this...Sirach 11
- 1 Wisdom lifteth up the head of him that is of low degree, and maketh him to sit among great men.
- 2 Commend not a man for his beauty; neither abhor a man for his outward appearance.
- 3 The bee is little among such as fly; but her fruit is the chief of sweet things.
- 4 Boast not of thy clothing and raiment, and exalt not thyself in the day of honour: for the works of the Lord are wonderful, and his works among men are hidden.
- 5 Many kings have sat down upon the ground; and one that was never thought of hath worn the crown.
- 6 Many mighty men have been greatly disgraced; and the honourable delivered into other men’s hands.
- 7 Blame not before thou hast examined the truth: understand first, and then rebuke.
- 8 Answer not before thou hast heard the cause: neither interrupt men in the midst of their talk.
- 9 Strive not in a matter that concerneth thee not; and sit not in judgment with sinners.
- 10 My son, meddle not with many matters: for if thou meddle much, thou shalt not be innocent; and if thou follow after, thou shalt not obtain, neither shalt thou escape by fleeing.
- 11 There is one that laboureth, and taketh pains, and maketh haste, and is so much the more behind.
- 12 Again, there is another that is slow, and hath need of help, wanting ability, and full of poverty; yet the eye of the Lord looked upon him for good, and set him up from his low estate,
- 13 And lifted up his head from misery; so that many that saw from him is peace over all the
- 14 Prosperity and adversity, life and death, poverty and riches, come of the Lord.
- 15 Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the law, are of the Lord: love, and the way of good works, are from him.
- 16 Error and darkness had their beginning together with sinners: and evil shall wax old with them that glory therein.
- 17 The gift of the Lord remaineth with the ungodly, and his favour bringeth prosperity for ever.
- 18 There is that waxeth rich by his wariness and pinching, and this his the portion of his reward:
- 19 Whereas he saith, I have found rest, and now will eat continually of my goods; and yet he knoweth not what time shall come upon him, and that he must leave those things to others, and die.
- 20 Be stedfast in thy covenant, and be conversant therein, and wax old in thy work.
- 21 Marvel not at the works of sinners; but trust in the Lord, and abide in thy labour: for it is an easy thing in the sight of the Lord on the sudden to make a poor man rich.
- 22 The blessing of the Lord is in the reward of the godly, and suddenly he maketh his blessing flourish.
- 23 Say not, What profit is there of my service? and what good things shall I have hereafter?
- 24 Again, say not, I have enough, and possess many things, and what evil shall I have hereafter?
- 25 In the day of prosperity there is a forgetfulness of affliction: and in the day of affliction there is no more remembrance of prosperity.
- 26 For it is an easy thing unto the Lord in the day of death to reward a man according to his ways.
- 27 The affliction of an hour maketh a man forget pleasure: and in his end his deeds shall be discovered.
- 28 Judge none blessed before his death: for a man shall be known in his children.
- 29 Bring not every man into thine house: for the deceitful man hath many trains.
- 30 Like as a partridge taken and kept in a cage, so is the heart of the proud; and like as a spy, watcheth he for thy fall:
- 31 For he lieth in wait, and turneth good into evil, and in things worthy praise will lay blame upon thee.
- 32 Of a spark of fire a heap of coals is kindled: and a sinful man layeth wait for blood.
- 33 Take heed of a mischievous man, for he worketh wickedness; lest he bring upon thee a perpetual blot.
- 34 Receive a stranger into thine house, and he will disturb thee, and turn thee out of thine own.

King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology and CatchWords, including Apocrypha (without glosses) (kjva - 3.1)
2023-07-19English (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.
