WORD Research this...Sirach 6
- 1 Instead of a friend become not an enemy; for thereby thou shalt inherit an ill name, shame, and reproach: even so shall a sinner that hath a double tongue.
- 2 Extol not thyself in the counsel of thine own heart; that thy soul be not torn in pieces as a bull straying alone.
- 3 Thou shalt eat up thy leaves, and lose thy fruit, and leave thyself as a dry tree.
- 4 A wicked soul shall destroy him that hath it, and shall make him to be laughed to scorn of his enemies.
- 5 Sweet language will multiply friends: and a fairspeaking tongue will increase kind greetings.
- 6 Be in peace with many: nevertheless have but one counsellor of a thousand.
- 7 If thou wouldest get a friend, prove him first and be not hasty to credit him.
- 8 For some man is a friend for his own occasion, and will not abide in the day of thy trouble.
- 9 And there is a friend, who being turned to enmity, and strife will discover thy reproach.
- 10 Again, some friend is a companion at the table, and will not continue in the day of thy affliction.
- 11 But in thy prosperity he will be as thyself, and will be bold over thy servants.
- 12 If thou be brought low, he will be against thee, and will hide himself from thy face.
- 13 Separate thyself from thine enemies, and take heed of thy friends.
- 14 A faithfull friend is a strong defence: and he that hath found such an one hath found a treasure.
- 15 Nothing doth countervail a faithful friend, and his excellency is invaluable.
- 16 A faithful friend is the medicine of life; and they that fear the Lord shall find him.
- 17 Whoso feareth the Lord shall direct his friendship aright: for as he is, so shall his neighbour be also.
- 18 My son, gather instruction from thy youth up: so shalt thou find wisdom till thine old age.
- 19 Come unto her as one that ploweth and soweth, and wait for her good fruits: for thou shalt not toil much in labouring about her, but thou shalt eat of her fruits right soon.
- 20 She is very unpleasant to the unlearned: he that is without understanding will not remain with her.
- 21 She will lie upon him as a mighty stone of trial; and he will cast her from him ere it be long.
- 22 For wisdom is according to her name, and she is not manifest unto many.
- 23 Give ear, my son, receive my advice, and refuse not my counsel,
- 24 And put thy feet into her fetters, and thy neck into her chain.
- 25 Bow down thy shoulder, and bear her, and be not grieved with her bonds.
- 26 Come unto her with thy whole heart, and keep her ways with all thy power.
- 27 Search, and seek, and she shall be made known unto thee: and when thou hast got hold of her, let her not go.
- 28 For at the last thou shalt find her rest, and that shall be turned to thy joy.
- 29 Then shall her fetters be a strong defence for thee, and her chains a robe of glory.
- 30 For there is a golden ornament upon her, and her bands are purple lace.
- 31 Thou shalt put her on as a robe of honour, and shalt put her about thee as a crown of joy.
- 32 My son, if thou wilt, thou shalt be taught: and if thou wilt apply thy mind, thou shalt be prudent.
- 33 If thou love to hear, thou shalt receive understanding: and if thou bow thine ear, thou shalt be wise,
- 34 Stand in the multitude of the elders; and cleave unto him that is wise.
- 35 Be willing to hear every godly discourse; and let not the parables of understanding escape thee.
- 36 And if thou seest a man of understanding, get thee betimes unto him, and let thy foot wear the steps of his door.
- 37 Let thy mind be upon the ordinances of the Lord and meditate continually in his commandments: he shall establish thine heart, and give thee wisdom at thine owns desire.

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.
