WORD Research this...Sirach 38
- 1 Honour a physician with the honour due unto him for the uses which ye may have of him: for the Lord hath created him.
- 2 For of the most High cometh healing, and he shall receive honour of the king.
- 3 The skill of the physician shall lift up his head: and in the sight of great men he shall be in admiration.
- 4 The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth; and he that is wise will not abhor them.
- 5 Was not the water made sweet with wood, that the virtue thereof might be known?
- 6 And he hath given men skill, that he might be honoured in his marvellous works.
- 7 With such doth he heal men, and taketh away their pains.
- 8 Of such doth the apothecary make a confection; and of his works there is no end; and from him is peace over all the earth,
- 9 My son, in thy sickness be not negligent: but pray unto the Lord, and he will make thee whole.
- 10 Leave off from sin, and order thine hands aright, and cleanse thy heart from all wickedness.
- 11 Give a sweet savour, and a memorial of fine flour; and make a fat offering, as not being.
- 12 Then give place to the physician, for the Lord hath created him: let him not go from thee, for thou hast need of him.
- 13 There is a time when in their hands there is good success.
- 14 For they shall also pray unto the Lord, that he would prosper that, which they give for ease and remedy to prolong life.
- 15 He that sinneth before his Maker, let him fall into the hand of the physician.
- 16 My son, let tears fall down over the dead, and begin to lament, as if thou hadst suffered great harm thyself; and then cover his body according to the custom, and neglect not his burial.
- 17 Weep bitterly, and make great moan, and use lamentation, as he is worthy, and that a day or two, lest thou be evil spoken of: and then comfort thyself for thy heaviness.
- 18 For of heaviness cometh death, and the heaviness of the heart breaketh strength.
- 19 In affliction also sorrow remaineth: and the life of the poor is the curse of the heart.
- 20 Take no heaviness to heart: drive it away, and member the last end.
- 21 Forget it not, for there is no turning again: thou shalt not do him good, but hurt thyself.
- 22 Remember my judgment: for thine also shall be so; yesterday for me, and to day for thee.
- 23 When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance rest; and be comforted for him, when his Spirit is departed from him.
- 24 The wisdom of a learned man cometh by opportunity of leisure: and he that hath little business shall become wise.
- 25 How can he get wisdom that holdeth the plough, and that glorieth in the goad, that driveth oxen, and is occupied in their labours, and whose talk is of bullocks?
- 26 He giveth his mind to make furrows; and is diligent to give the kine fodder.
- 27 So every carpenter and workmaster, that laboureth night and day: and they that cut and grave seals, and are diligent to make great variety, and give themselves to counterfeit imagery, and watch to finish a work:
- 28 The smith also sitting by the anvil, and considering the iron work, the vapour of the fire wasteth his flesh, and he fighteth with the heat of the furnace: the noise of the hammer and the anvil is ever in his ears, and his eyes look still upon the pattern of the thing that he maketh; he setteth his mind to finish his work, and watcheth to polish it perfectly:
- 29 So doth the potter sitting at his work, and turning the wheel about with his feet, who is alway carefully set at his work, and maketh all his work by number;
- 30 He fashioneth the clay with his arm, and boweth down his strength before his feet; he applieth himself to lead it over; and he is diligent to make clean the furnace:
- 31 All these trust to their hands: and every one is wise in his work.
- 32 Without these cannot a city be inhabited: and they shall not dwell where they will, nor go up and down:
- 33 They shall not be sought for in publick counsel, nor sit high in the congregation: they shall not sit on the judges’ seat, nor understand the sentence of judgment: they cannot declare justice and judgment; and they shall not be found where parables are spoken.
- 34 But they will maintain the state of the world, and all their desire is in the work of their craft.

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.
