Proverbs 7
- 1 Mi sone, kepe thou my wordis; and kepe myn heestis to thee. Sone, onoure thou the Lord, and thou schalt be `myyti; but outakun hym drede thou not an alien.
- 2 Kepe thou myn heestis, and thou schalt lyue; and my lawe as the appil of thin iyen.
- 3 Bynde thou it in thi fyngris; write thou it in the tablis of thin herte.
- 4 Seie thou to wisdom, Thou art my sistir; and clepe thou prudence thi frendesse.
- 5 That it kepe thee fro a straunge womman; and fro an alien womman, that makith hir wordis swete.
- 6 For whi fro the wyndow of myn hous bi the latijs Y bihelde; and Y se litle children.
- 7 I biholde a yong man coward,
- 8 that passith bi the stretis, bisidis the corner; and he
- 9 goith niy the weie of hir hous in derk tyme, whanne the dai drawith to niyt, in the derknessis and myst of the nyyt.
- 10 And lo! a womman, maad redi with ournement of an hoore to disseyue soulis, meetith hym, and sche is a ianglere, and goynge about,
- 11 and vnpacient of reste, and mai not stonde in the hous with hir feet;
- 12 and now without forth, now in stretis, now bisidis corneris sche `aspieth.
- 13 And sche takith, and kissith the yong man; and flaterith with wowynge cheer, and seith, Y ouyte sacrifices for heelthe;
- 14 to dai Y haue yolde my vowis.
- 15 Therfor Y yede out in to thi meetyng, and Y desiride to se thee; and Y haue founde thee.
- 16 Y haue maad my bed with coordis, Y haue arayed with tapetis peyntid of Egipt;
- 17 Y haue bispreynt my bed with myrre, and aloes, and canel.
- 18 Come thou, be we fillid with tetis, and vse we collyngis that ben coueitid; til the dai bigynne to be cleer.
- 19 For myn hosebonde is not in his hows; he is goon a ful long weie.
- 20 He took with hym a bagge of money; he schal turne ayen in to his hous in the dai of ful moone.
- 21 Sche boonde hym with many wordis; and sche drow forth hym with flateryngis of lippis.
- 22 Anoon he as an oxe led to slayn sacrifice sueth hir, and as a ioli lomb and vnkunnynge; and the fool woot not, that he is drawun to bondys,
- 23 til an arowe perse his mawe. As if a brid hastith to the snare; and woot not, that it is don of the perel of his lijf.
- 24 Now therfor, my sone, here thou me; and perseyue the wordis of my mouth.
- 25 Lest thi soule be drawun awei in the weies of hir; nether be thou disseyued in the pathis of hir.
- 26 For sche castide doun many woundid men; and alle strongeste men weren slayn of hir.
- 27 The weies of helle is hir hous; and persen in to ynnere thingis of deeth.

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.
