WORD Research this...Ecclesiastes 2
-
1 I said in my heart, `Pray, come, I try thee with mirth, and look thou on gladness;' and lo, even it
is vanity. -
2 Of laughter I said, `Foolish!' and of mirth, `What
is this it is doing?' -
3 I have sought in my heart to draw out with wine my appetite, (and my heart leading in wisdom), and to take hold on folly till that I see where
is this--the good to the sons of man of that which they do under the heavens, the number of the days of their lives. - 4 I made great my works, I builded for me houses, I planted for me vineyards.
- 5 I made for me gardens and paradises, and I planted in them trees of every fruit.
- 6 I made for me pools of water, to water from them a forest shooting forth trees.
- 7 I got men-servants, and maid-servants, and sons of the house were to me; also, I had much substance--herd and flock--above all who had been before me in Jerusalem.
- 8 I gathered for me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces. I prepared for me men-singers and women-singers, and the luxuries of the sons of man--a wife and wives.
- 9 And I became great, and increased above every one who had been before me in Jerusalem; also, my wisdom stood with me.
- 10 And all that mine eyes asked I kept not back from them; I withheld not my heart from any joy, for my heart rejoiced because of all my labour, and this hath been my portion, from all my labour,
-
11 and I have looked on all my works that my hands have done, and on the labour that I have laboured to do, and lo, the whole
is vanity and vexation of spirit, and there is no advantage under the sun! -
12 And I turned to see wisdom, and madness, and folly, but what
is the man who cometh after the king? that whichis already--they have done it! - 13 And I saw that there is an advantage to wisdom above folly, like the advantage of the light above the darkness.
-
14 The wise! --his eyes
are in his head, and the fool in darkness is walking, and I also knew that one event happeneth with them all; -
15 and I said in my heart, `As it happeneth with the fool, it happeneth also with me, and why am I then more wise?' And I spake in my heart, that also this
is vanity: -
16 That there is no remembrance to the wise--with the fool--to the age, for that which
is already,in the days that are coming is all forgotten, and how dieth the wise? with the fool! -
17 And I have hated life, for sad to me
is the work that hath been done under the sun, for the wholeis vanity and vexation of spirit. - 18 And I have hated all my labour that I labour at under the sun, because I leave it to a man who is after me.
-
19 And who knoweth whether he is wise or foolish? yet he doth rule over all my labour that I have laboured at, and that I have done wisely under the sun! this also
is vanity. - 20 And I turned round to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labour that I laboured at under the sun.
-
21 For there is a man whose labour
is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity, and to a man who hath not laboured therein he giveth it--his portion! Even thisis vanity and a great evil. - 22 For what hath been to a man by all his labour, and by the thought of his heart that he laboured at under the sun?
-
23 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail sadness; even at night his heart hath not lain down; this also
is vanity. -
24 There is nothing good in a man who eateth, and hath drunk, and hath shewn his soul good in his labour. This also I have seen that it
is from the hand of God. - 25 For who eateth and who hasteth out more than I?
-
26 For to a man who
is good before Him, He hath given wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; and to a sinner He hath given travail, to gather and to heap up, to give to the good before God. Even thisis vanity and vexation of spirit.

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.
