WORD Research this...Sirach 40
- 1 Great travail is created for every man, and an heavy yoke is upon the sons of Adam, from the day that they go out of their mother’s womb, till the day that they return to the mother of all things.
- 2 Their imagination of things to come, and the day of death, trouble their thoughts, and cause fear of heart;
- 3 From him that sitteth on a throne of glory, unto him that is humbled in earth and ashes;
- 4 From him that weareth purple and a crown, unto him that is clothed with a linen frock.
- 5 Wrath, and envy, trouble, and unquietness, fear of death, and anger, and strife, and in the time of rest upon his bed his night sleep, do change his knowledge.
- 6 A little or nothing is his rest, and afterward he is in his sleep, as in a day of keeping watch, troubled in the vision of his heart, as if he were escaped out of a battle.
- 7 When all is safe, he awaketh, and marvelleth that the fear was nothing.
- 8 Such things happen unto all flesh, both man and beast, and that is sevenfold more upon sinners.
- 9 Death, and bloodshed, strife, and sword, calamities, famine, tribulation, and the scourge;
- 10 These things are created for the wicked, and for their sakes came the flood.
- 11 All things that are of the earth shall turn to the earth again: and that which is of the waters doth return into the sea.
- 12 All bribery and injustice shall be blotted out: but true dealing shall endure for ever.
- 13 The goods of the unjust shall be dried up like a river, and shall vanish with noise, like a great thunder in rain.
- 14 While he openeth his hand he shall rejoice: so shall transgressors come to nought.
- 15 The children of the ungodly shall not bring forth many branches: but are as unclean roots upon a hard rock.
- 16 The weed growing upon every water and bank of a river shall be pulled up before all grass.
- 17 Bountifulness is as a most fruitful garden, and mercifulness endureth for ever.
- 18 To labour, and to be content with that a man hath, is a sweet life: but he that findeth a treasure is above them both.
- 19 Children and the building of a city continue a man’s name: but a blameless wife is counted above them both.
- 20 Wine and musick rejoice the heart: but the love of wisdom is above them both.
- 21 The pipe and the psaltery make sweet melody: but a pleasant tongue is above them both.
- 22 Thine eye desireth favour and beauty: but more than both corn while it is green.
- 23 A friend and companion never meet amiss: but above both is a wife with her husband.
- 24 Brethren and help are against time of trouble: but alms shall deliver more than them both.
- 25 Gold and silver make the foot stand sure: but counsel is esteemed above them both.
- 26 Riches and strength lift up the heart: but the fear of the Lord is above them both: there is no want in the fear of the Lord, and it needeth not to seek help.
- 27 The fear of the Lord is a fruitful garden, and covereth him above all glory.
- 28 My son, lead not a beggar’s life; for better it is to die than to beg.
- 29 The life of him that dependeth on another man’s table is not to be counted for a life; for he polluteth himself with other men’s meat: but a wise man well nurtured will beware thereof.
- 30 Begging is sweet in the mouth of the shameless: but in his belly there shall burn a fire.

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.
