WORD Research this...Sirach 39
- 1 But he that giveth his mind to the law of the most High, and is occupied in the meditation thereof, will seek out the wisdom of all the ancient, and be occupied in prophecies.
- 2 He will keep the sayings of the renowned men: and where subtil parables are, he will be there also.
- 3 He will seek out the secrets of grave sentences, and be conversant in dark parables.
- 4 He shall serve among great men, and appear before princes: he will travel through strange countries; for he hath tried the good and the evil among men.
- 5 He will give his heart to resort early to the Lord that made him, and will pray before the most High, and will open his mouth in prayer, and make supplication for his sins.
- 6 When the great Lord will, he shall be filled with the spirit of understanding: he shall pour out wise sentences, and give thanks unto the Lord in his prayer.
- 7 He shall direct his counsel and knowledge, and in his secrets shall he meditate.
- 8 He shall shew forth that which he hath learned, and shall glory in the law of the covenant of the Lord.
- 9 Many shall commend his understanding; and so long as the world endureth, it shall not be blotted out; his memorial shall not depart away, and his name shall live from generation to generation.
- 10 Nations shall shew forth his wisdom, and the congregation shall declare his praise.
- 11 If he die, he shall leave a greater name than a thousand: and if he live, he shall increase it.
- 12 Yet have I more to say, which I have thought upon; for I am filled as the moon at the full.
- 13 Hearken unto me, ye holy children, and bud forth as a rose growing by the brook of the field:
- 14 And give ye a sweet savour as frankincense, and flourish as a lily, send forth a smell, and sing a song of praise, bless the Lord in all his works.
- 15 Magnify his name, and shew forth his praise with the songs of your lips, and with harps, and in praising him ye shall say after this manner:
- 16 All the works of the Lord are exceeding good, and whatsoever he commandeth shall be accomplished in due season.
- 17 And none may say, What is this? wherefore is that? for at time convenient they shall all be sought out: at his commandment the waters stood as an heap, and at the words of his mouth the receptacles of waters.
- 18 At his commandment is done whatsoever pleaseth him; and none can hinder, when he will save.
- 19 The works of all flesh are before him, and nothing can be hid from his eyes.
- 20 He seeth from everlasting to everlasting; and there is nothing wonderful before him.
- 21 A man need not to say, What is this? wherefore is that? for he hath made all things for their uses.
- 22 His blessing covered the dry land as a river, and watered it as a flood.
- 23 As he hath turned the waters into saltness: so shall the heathen inherit his wrath.
- 24 As his ways are plain unto the holy; so are they stumblingblocks unto the wicked.
- 25 For the good are good things created from the beginning: so evil things for sinners.
- 26 The principal things for the whole use of man’s life are water, fire, iron, and salt, flour of wheat, honey, milk, and the blood of the grape, and oil, and clothing.
- 27 All these things are for good to the godly: so to the sinners they are turned into evil.
- 28 There be spirits that are created for vengeance, which in their fury lay on sore strokes; in the time of destruction they pour out their force, and appease the wrath of him that made them.
- 29 Fire, and hail, and famine, and death, all these were created for vengeance;
- 30 Teeth of wild beasts, and scorpions, serpents, and the sword punishing the wicked to destruction.
- 31 They shall rejoice in his commandment, and they shall be ready upon earth, when need is; and when their time is come, they shall not transgress his word.
- 32 Therefore from the beginning I was resolved, and thought upon these things, and have left them in writing.
- 33 All the works of the Lord are good: and he will give every needful thing in due season.
- 34 So that a man cannot say, This is worse than that: for in time they shall all be well approved.
- 35 And therefore praise ye the Lord with the whole heart and mouth, and bless the name of the Lord.

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.
