Proverbs 27
- 1 Haue thou not glorie on the morewe, `not knowynge what thing the dai to comynge schal bringe forth.
- 2 Another man, and not thi mouth preise thee; a straunger, and not thi lippis `preise thee.
- 3 A stoon is heuy, and grauel is chariouse; but the ire of a fool is heuyere than euer eithir.
- 4 Ire hath no merci, and woodnesse brekynge out `hath no merci; and who mai suffre the fersnesse of a spirit stirid?
- 5 Betere is opyn repreuyng, than loue hid.
- 6 Betere ben the woundis of hym that loueth, than the gileful cossis of hym that hatith.
- 7 A man fillid schal dispise an hony coomb; but an hungri man schal take, yhe, bittir thing for swete.
- 8 As a brid passinge ouer fro his nest, so is a man that forsakith his place.
- 9 The herte delitith in oynement, and dyuerse odours; and a soule is maad swete bi the good counsels of a frend.
- 10 Forsake thou not thi frend, and the frend of thi fadir; and entre thou not in to the hous of thi brothir, in the dai of thi turment. Betere is a neiybore nyy, than a brothir afer.
- 11 Mi sone, studie thou a boute wisdom, and make thou glad myn herte; that thou maist answere a word to a dispisere.
- 12 A fel man seynge yuel was hid; litle men of wit passinge forth suffriden harmes.
- 13 Take thou awei his clooth, that bihiyte for a straunger; and take thou awei a wed fro hym for an alien man.
- 14 He that blessith his neiybore with greet vois; and risith bi niyt, schal be lijk hym that cursith.
- 15 Roouys droppynge in the dai of coold, and a womman ful of chidyng ben comparisond.
- 16 He that withholdith hir, as if he holdith wynd; and auoidith the oile of his riyt hond.
- 17 Yrun is whettid bi irun; and a man whettith the face of his frend.
- 18 He that kepith a fige tre, schal ete the fruytis therof; and he that is a kepere of his lord, schal be glorified.
- 19 As the cheris of men biholdinge schynen in watris; so the hertis of men ben opyn to prudent men.
- 20 Helle and perdicioun schulen not be fillid; so and the iyen of men moun not be fillid.
- 21 As siluer is preuyd in a wellyng place, and gold `is preued in a furneys; so a man is preued bi the mouth of preyseris. The herte of a wickid man sekith out yuels; but a riytful herte sekith out kunnyng.
- 22 Thouy thou beetist a fool in a morter, as with a pestel smytynge aboue dried barli; his foli schal not be don awei fro him.
- 23 Knowe thou diligentli the cheere of thi beeste; and biholde thou thi flockis.
- 24 For thou schalt not haue power contynueli; but a coroun schal be youun to thee in generacioun and in to generacioun.
- 25 Medewis ben openyd, and greene eerbis apperiden; and hey is gaderid fro hillis.
- 26 Lambren be to thi clothing; and kidis be to the prijs of feeld.
- 27 The mylke of geete suffice to thee for thi meetis; in to the necessarie thingis of thin hous, and to lijflode to thin handmaidis.

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.
