WORD Research this...Sirach 4
- 1 My son, defraud not the poor of his living, and make not the needy eyes to wait long.
- 2 Make not an hungry soul sorrowful; neither provoke a man in his distress.
- 3 Add not more trouble to an heart that is vexed; and defer not to give to him that is in need.
- 4 Reject not the supplication of the afflicted; neither turn away thy face from a poor man.
- 5 Turn not away thine eye from the needy, and give him none occasion to curse thee:
- 6 For if he curse thee in the bitterness of his soul, his prayer shall be heard of him that made him.
- 7 Get thyself the love of the congregation, and bow thy head to a great man.
- 8 Let it not grieve thee to bow down thine ear to the poor, and give him a friendly answer with meekness.
- 9 Deliver him that suffereth wrong from the hand of the oppressor; and be not fainthearted when thou sittest in judgment.
- 10 Be as a father unto the fatherless, and instead of an husband unto their mother: so shalt thou be as the son of the most High, and he shall love thee more than thy mother doth.
- 11 Wisdom exalteth her children, and layeth hold of them that seek her.
- 12 He that loveth her loveth life; and they that seek to her early shall be filled with joy.
- 13 He that holdeth her fast shall inherit glory; and wheresoever she entereth, the Lord will bless.
- 14 They that serve her shall minister to the Holy One: and them that love her the Lord doth love.
- 15 Whoso giveth ear unto her shall judge the nations: and he that attendeth unto her shall dwell securely.
- 16 If a man commit himself unto her, he shall inherit her; and his generation shall hold her in possession.
- 17 For at the first she will walk with him by crooked ways, and bring fear and dread upon him, and torment him with her discipline, until she may trust his soul, and try him by her laws.
- 18 Then will she return the straight way unto him, and comfort him, and shew him her secrets.
- 19 But if he go wrong, she will forsake him, and give him over to his own ruin.
- 20 Observe the opportunity, and beware of evil; and be not ashamed when it concerneth thy soul.
- 21 For there is a shame that bringeth sin; and there is a shame which is glory and grace.
- 22 Accept no person against thy soul, and let not the reverence of any man cause thee to fall.
- 23 And refrain not to speak, when there is occasion to do good, and hide not thy wisdom in her beauty.
- 24 For by speech wisdom shall be known: and learning by the word of the tongue.
- 25 In no wise speak against the truth; but be abashed of the error of thine ignorance.
- 26 Be not ashamed to confess thy sins; and force not the course of the river.
- 27 Make not thyself an underling to a foolish man; neither accept the person of the mighty.
- 28 Strive for the truth unto death, and the Lord shall fight for thee.
- 29 Be not hasty in thy tongue, and in thy deeds slack and remiss.
- 30 Be not as a lion in thy house, nor frantick among thy servants.
- 31 Let not thine hand be stretched out to receive, and shut when thou shouldest repay.

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.
