Proverbs 22
- 1 Betere is a good name, than many richessis; for good grace is aboue siluer and gold.
- 2 A riche man and a pore man metten hem silf; the Lord is worchere of euer eithir.
- 3 A felle man seeth yuel, and hidith him silf; and an innocent man passid, and he was turmentid bi harm.
- 4 The ende of temperaunce is the drede of the Lord; richessis, and glorye, and lijf.
- 5 Armuris and swerdis ben in the weie of a weiward man; but the kepere of his soule goith awey fer fro tho.
- 6 It is a prouerbe, A yong wexynge man bisidis his weie, and whanne he hath wexe elde, he schal not go awei fro it.
- 7 A riche man comaundith to pore men; and he that takith borewyng, is the seruaunt of the leenere.
- 8 He that sowith wickidnes, schal repe yuels; and the yerde of his yre schal be endid.
- 9 He that is redi to merci, schal be blessid; for of his looues he yaf to a pore man. He that yyueth yiftis, schal gete victorie and onour; forsothe he takith awei the soule of the takeris.
- 10 Caste thou out a scornere, and strijf schal go out with hym; and causis and dispisyngis schulen ceesse.
- 11 He that loueth the clennesse of herte, schal haue the kyng a freend, for the grace of hise lippis.
- 12 The iyen of the Lord kepen kunnyng; and the wordis of a wickid man ben disseyued.
- 13 A slow man schal seie, A lioun is withoutforth; Y schal be slayn in the myddis of the stretis.
- 14 The mouth of an alien womman is a deep diche; he to whom the Lord is wrooth, schal falle in to it.
- 15 Foli is boundun togidere in the herte of a child; and a yerde of chastisyng schal dryue it awey.
- 16 He that falsli chalengith a pore man, to encreesse hise owne richessis, schal yyue to a richere man, and schal be nedi.
- 17 My sone, bowe doun thin eere, and here thou the wordis of wise men; but sette thou the herte to my techyng.
- 18 That schal be fair to thee, whanne thou hast kept it in thin herte, and it schal flowe ayen in thi lippis.
- 19 That thi trist be in the Lord; wherfor and Y haue schewid it to thee to dai.
- 20 Lo! Y haue discryued it in thre maneres, in thouytis and kunnyng,
- 21 that Y schulde schewe to thee the sadnesse and spechis of trewthe; to answere of these thingis to hem, that senten thee.
- 22 Do thou not violence to a pore man, for he is pore; nethir defoule thou a nedi man in the yate.
- 23 For the Lord schal deme his cause, and he schal turmente hem, that turmentiden his soule.
- 24 Nyle thou be freend to a wrathful man, nether go thou with a wood man;
- 25 lest perauenture thou lerne hise weies, and take sclaundir to thi soule.
- 26 Nyle thou be with hem that oblischen her hondis, and that proferen hem silf borewis for dettis; for if he hath not wherof he schal restore,
- 27 what of cause is, that thou take awei hilyng fro thi bed?
- 28 Go thou not ouer the elde markis, whiche thi faders han set.
- 29 Thou hast seyn a man smert in his werk; he schal stonde bifore kyngis, and he schal not be bifor vnnoble men.

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.
