Sirach 15
- 1 He that dredith God, schal do goode werkis; and he that holdith riytfulnesse, schal take it.
- 2 And it as a modir onourid schal meete hym, and as a womman fro virgynyte it schal take hym.
- 3 It shal feede hym with the breed of lijf, and of vndurstonding; and it schal yyue drynke to hym with watir of heelful wisdom; it schal be maad stidfast in hym, and he schal not be bowid.
- 4 And it schal holde hym, and he schal not be schent; and it schal enhaunse hym at his neiyboris.
- 5 And in the myddis of the chirche he schal opene his mouth; and God schal fille hym with the spirit of wisdom, and of vndurstonding, and schal clothe hym with the stoole of glorie.
- 6 God schal tresore on hym myrthe, and ful out ioiyng; and schal enherite hym with euerlastynge name.
- 7 Fonned men schulen not take that wisdom, and witti men schulen meete it. Fonned men schulen not se it; for whi it goith awey fer fro pride, and gile.
- 8 Men leesyngmongeris schulen not be myndful therof, and sothefast men ben foundun ther ynne; and schulen haue prosperite `til to the biholding of God.
- 9 Preisyng is not fair in the mouth of a synnere, for he is not sent of the Lord.
- 10 For whi wisdom yede forth fro God; forsothe heriyng schal stonde nyy the wisdom of God, and it schal be plenteuouse in a feithful mouth, and the Lord schal yyue it to him.
- 11 Seie thou not, It goith awei bi God; for whi do thou not tho thingis, whiche God hatith.
- 12 Seie thou not, He made me for to erre; for whi wickid men ben not nedeful to hym.
- 13 The Lord hatith al cursidnesse of errour, and it schal not be amyable to hem, that dreden hym.
- 14 At the bigynnyng God made man, and lefte him in the hond of his councel.
- 15 He addide hise comaundementis, and lawis;
- 16 if thou wolt kepe the comaundementis, tho schulen kepe thee, and kepe plesaunt feith with outen ende.
- 17 He hath set to thee watir and fier; dresse thin hond to that, that thou wolt.
- 18 Bifor man is lijf and deth, good and yuel; that, that plesith hym, schal be youun to hym.
- 19 For whi the wisdom of God is myche, and he is strong in power, and seeth alle men without ceessing.
- 20 The iyen of the Lord ben to hem, that dreden hym; and he knowith al the trauel of man.
- 21 He comaundide not to ony man to do wickidli; and he yaf not to ony man space to do synne.
- 22 For he coueytith not the multitude of sones vnfeithful and vnprofitable.

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.
