Proverbs 26
- 1 As snow in somer, and reyn in heruest; so glorie is vnsemeli to a fool.
- 2 For whi as a brid fliynge ouer to hiy thingis, and a sparowe goynge in to vncerteyn; so cursing brouyt forth with out resonable cause schal come aboue in to sum man.
- 3 Beting to an hors, and a bernacle to an asse; and a yerde in the bak of vnprudent men.
- 4 Answere thou not to a fool bi his foli, lest thou be maad lijk hym.
- 5 Answere thou a fool bi his fooli, lest he seme to him silf to be wijs.
- 6 An haltinge man in feet, and drinkinge wickidnesse, he that sendith wordis by a fonned messanger.
- 7 As an haltinge man hath faire leggis in veyn; so a parable is vnsemeli in the mouth of foolis.
- 8 As he that casteth a stoon in to an heep of mercurie; so he that yyueth onour to an vnwijs man.
- 9 As if a thorn growith in the hond of a drunkun man; so a parable in the mouth of foolis.
- 10 Doom determyneth causis; and he that settith silence to a fool, swagith iris.
- 11 As a dogge that turneth ayen to his spuyng; so is an vnprudent man, that rehersith his fooli.
- 12 Thou hast seyn a man seme wijs to hym silf; an vnkunnyng man schal haue hope more than he.
- 13 A slow man seith, A lioun is in the weie, a liounnesse is in the foot pathis.
- 14 As a dore is turned in his hengis; so a slow man in his bed.
- 15 A slow man hidith hise hondis vndur his armpit; and he trauelith, if he turneth tho to his mouth.
- 16 A slow man semeth wysere to hym silf, than seuene men spekynge sentensis.
- 17 As he that takith a dogge bi the eeris; so he that passith, and is vnpacient, and is meddlid with the chiding of anothir man.
- 18 As he is gilti, that sendith speris and arowis in to deth;
- 19 so a man that anoieth gilefuli his frend, and whanne he is takun, he schal seie, Y dide pleiynge.
- 20 Whanne trees failen, the fier schal be quenchid; and whanne a priuy bacbitere is withdrawun, stryues resten.
- 21 As deed coolis at quic coolis, and trees at the fier; so a wrathful man reisith chidyngis.
- 22 The wordis of a pryuei bacbitere ben as symple; and tho comen til to the ynneste thingis of the herte.
- 23 As if thou wolt ourne a vessel of erthe with foul siluer; so ben bolnynge lippis felouschipid with `the werste herte.
- 24 An enemy is vndirstondun bi hise lippis, whanne he tretith giles in the herte.
- 25 Whanne he `makith low his vois, bileue thou not to hym; for seuene wickidnessis ben in his herte.
- 26 The malice of hym that hilith hatrede gilefuli, schal be schewid in a counsel.
- 27 He that delueth a diche, schal falle in to it; and if a man walewith a stoon, it schal turne ayen to hym.
- 28 A fals tunge loueth not treuth; and a slidir mouth worchith fallyngis.

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.
