WORD Research this...Sirach 16
- 1 Desire not a multitude of unprofitable children, neither delight in ungodly sons.
- 2 Though they multiply, rejoice not in them, except the fear of the Lord be with them.
- 3 Trust not thou in their life, neither respect their multitude: for one that is just is better than a thousand; and better it is to die without children, than to have them that are ungodly.
- 4 For by one that hath understanding shall the city be replenished: but the kindred of the wicked shall speedily become desolate.
- 5 Many such things have I seen with mine eyes, and mine ear hath heard greater things than these.
- 6 In the congregation of the ungodly shall a fire be kindled; and in a rebellious nation wrath is set on fire.
- 7 He was not pacified toward the old giants, who fell away in the strength of their foolishness.
- 8 Neither spared he the place where Lot sojourned, but abhorred them for their pride.
- 9 He pitied not the people of perdition, who were taken away in their sins:
- 10 Nor the six hundred thousand footmen, who were gathered together in the hardness of their hearts.
- 11 And if there be one stiffnecked among the people, it is marvel if he escape unpunished: for mercy and wrath are with him; he is mighty to forgive, and to pour out displeasure.
- 12 As his mercy is great, so is his correction also: he judgeth a man according to his works
- 13 The sinner shall not escape with his spoils: and the patience of the godly shall not be frustrate.
- 14 Make way for every work of mercy: for every man shall find according to his works.
- 15 The Lord hardened Pharaoh, that he should not know him, that his powerful works might be known to the world.
- 16 His mercy is manifest to every creature; and he hath separated his light from the darkness with an adamant.
- 17 Say not thou, I will hide myself from the Lord: shall any remember me from above? I shall not be remembered among so many people: for what is my soul among such an infinite number of creatures?
- 18 Behold, the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, the deep, and the earth, and all that therein is, shall be moved when he shall visit.
- 19 The mountains also and foundations of the earth be shaken with trembling, when the Lord looketh upon them.
- 20 No heart can think upon these things worthily: and who is able to conceive his ways?
- 21 It is a tempest which no man can see: for the most part of his works are hid.
- 22 Who can declare the works of his justice? or who can endure them? for his covenant is afar off, and the trial of all things is in the end.
- 23 He that wanteth understanding will think upon vain things: and a foolish man erring imagineth follies.
- 24 by son, hearken unto me, and learn knowledge, and mark my words with thy heart.
- 25 I will shew forth doctrine in weight, and declare his knowledge exactly.
- 26 The works of the Lord are done in judgment from the beginning: and from the time he made them he disposed the parts thereof.
- 27 He garnished his works for ever, and in his hand are the chief of them unto all generations: they neither labour, nor are weary, nor cease from their works.
- 28 None of them hindereth another, and they shall never disobey his word.
- 29 After this the Lord looked upon the earth, and filled it with his blessings.
- 30 With all manner of living things hath he covered the face thereof; and they shall return into it again.

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.
