WORD Research this...Sirach 20
- 1 There is a reproof that is not comely: again, some man holdeth his tongue, and he is wise.
- 2 It is much better to reprove, than to be angry secretly: and he that confesseth his fault shall be preserved from hurt.
- 3 How good is it, when thou art reproved, to shew repentance! for so shalt thou escape wilful sin.
- 4 As is the lust of an eunuch to deflower a virgin; so is he that executeth judgment with violence.
- 5 There is one that keepeth silence, and is found wise: and another by much babbling becometh hateful.
- 6 Some man holdeth his tongue, because he hath not to answer: and some keepeth silence, knowing his time.
- 7 A wise man will hold his tongue till he see opportunity: but a babbler and a fool will regard no time.
- 8 He that useth many words shall be abhorred; and he that taketh to himself authority therein shall be hated.
- 9 There is a sinner that hath good success in evil things; and there is a gain that turneth to loss.
- 10 There is a gift that shall not profit thee; and there is a gift whose recompence is double.
- 11 There is an abasement because of glory; and there is that lifteth up his head from a low estate.
- 12 There is that buyeth much for a little, and repayeth it sevenfold.
- 13 A wise man by his words maketh him beloved: but the graces of fools shall be poured out.
- 14 The gift of a fool shall do thee no good when thou hast it; neither yet of the envious for his necessity: for he looketh to receive many things for one.
- 15 He giveth little, and upbraideth much; he openeth his mouth like a crier; to day he lendeth, and to morrow will he ask it again: such an one is to be hated of God and man.
- 16 The fool saith, I have no friends, I have no thank for all my good deeds, and they that eat my bread speak evil of me.
- 17 How oft, and of how many shall he be laughed to scorn! for he knoweth not aright what it is to have; and it is all one unto him as if he had it not.
- 18 To slip upon a pavement is better than to slip with the tongue: so the fall of the wicked shall come speedily.
- 19 An unseasonable tale will always be in the mouth of the unwise.
- 20 A wise sentence shall be rejected when it cometh out of a fool’s mouth; for he will not speak it in due season.
- 21 There is that is hindered from sinning through want: and when he taketh rest, he shall not be troubled.
- 22 There is that destroyeth his own soul through bashfulness, and by accepting of persons overthroweth himself.
- 23 There is that for bashfulness promiseth to his friend, and maketh him his enemy for nothing.
- 24 A lie is a foul blot in a man, yet it is continually in the mouth of the untaught.
- 25 A thief is better than a man that is accustomed to lie: but they both shall have destruction to heritage.
- 26 The disposition of a liar is dishonourable, and his shame is ever with him.
- 27 A wise man shall promote himself to honour with his words: and he that hath understanding will please great men.
- 28 He that tilleth his land shall increase his heap: and he that pleaseth great men shall get pardon for iniquity.
- 29 Presents and gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and stop up his mouth that he cannot reprove.
- 30 Wisdom that is hid, and treasure that is hoarded up, what profit is in them both?
- 31 Better is he that hideth his folly than a man that hideth his wisdom.
- 32 Necessary patience in seeking the Lord is better than he that leadeth his life without a guide.

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.
