WORD Research this...Proverbs 20
- 1 Wine [is] a mocker, strong drink [is] raging: and whoever is deceived by it is not wise.
- 2 The fear of a king [is] as the roaring of a lion: [whoever] provoketh him to anger sinneth [against] his own soul.
- 3 [It is] an honor for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
- 4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; [therefore] shall he beg in harvest, and [have] nothing.
- 5 Counsel in the heart of man [is like] deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
- 6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
- 7 The just [man] walketh in his integrity: his children [are] blessed after him.
- 8 A king that sitteth on the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
- 9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
- 10 Divers weights, [and] divers measures, both of them [are] alike abomination to the LORD.
- 11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work [is] pure, and whether [it is] right.
- 12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.
- 13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thy eyes, [and] thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
- 14 [It is] naught, [it is] naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone, then he boasteth.
- 15 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge [are] a precious jewel.
- 16 Take his garment that is surety [for] a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
- 17 Bread of deceit [is] sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
- 18 [Every] purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
- 19 He that goeth about [as] a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
- 20 Whoever curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
- 21 An inheritance [may be] gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end of it shall not be blessed.
- 22 Say not thou, I will recompense evil; [but] wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
- 23 Divers weights [are] an abomination to the LORD; and a false balance [is] not good.
- 24 Man's goings [are] of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?
- 25 [It is] a snare to the man [who] devoureth [that which is] holy, and after vows to make inquiry.
- 26 A wise king scatterreth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.
- 27 The spirit of man [is] the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
- 28 Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upheld by mercy.
- 29 The glory of young men [is] their strength: and the beauty of old men [is] the gray head.
- 30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so [do] stripes the inward parts of the belly.

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.
