WORD Research this...Proverbs 17
- 1 Better [is] a dry morsel, and quietness with it, than a house full of sacrifices [with] strife.
- 2 A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
- 3 The fining-pot [is] for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.
- 4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips: [and] a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
- 5 He that mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker; [and] he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
- 6 Children's children [are] the crown of old men; and the glory of children [is] their fathers.
- 7 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.
- 8 A gift [is as] a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
- 9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth [very] friends.
- 10 A reproof entereth more into a wise man than a hundred stripes into a fool.
- 11 An evil [man] seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
- 12 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
- 13 Whoever rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
- 14 The beginning of strife [is as] when one letteth out water: therefore withdraw from contention, before it be meddled with.
- 15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both [are] abomination to the LORD.
- 16 Why [is there] a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing [he hath] no heart [to it]?
- 17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
- 18 A man void of understanding striketh hands, [and] becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
- 19 He loveth transgression that loveth strife: [and] he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.
- 20 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
- 21 He that begetteth a fool [doeth it] to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.
- 22 A merry heart doeth good [like] a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
- 23 A wicked [man] taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
- 24 Wisdom [is] before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool [are] in the ends of the earth.
- 25 A foolish son [is] a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bore him.
- 26 Also to punish the just [is] not good, [nor] to strike princes for equity.
- 27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words: [and] a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
- 28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: [and] he that shutteth his lips [is esteemed] a man of understanding.

Webster Bible Electronic Format.
PUBLIC DOMAIN
February 1992
Beginning in July of 1991 the task of placing the Webster Bible text in electronic format began. The original purpose was to provide Larry Pierce, who produces the On-Line Bible program, with a more modern *public domain* text, similar in content and style to the AV but with a grammar that would provide better comprehension in todays English.
I plan on maintaining an accurate copy of the Webster text. Anyone finding an error should contact me; Anyone desiring to obtain the latest, most correct text, can find it on the Bible Foundation BBS, or can contact me in the following methods:

I would like to thank the Bible Foundation not only for scanning nearly the entire Webster Bible but for encouraging me to undertake this monumental work; particularly around page 20 when I realized what I had gotten myself into. Special thanks to Jerry Kingery of the Bible Foundation for scanning, and Jerry Hastings for doing some preliminary scan cleaning and making the texts available on the BBS.- Direction: LTR

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.
