Proverbs 5
- 1 My son, attend to my wisdom, and bow your ear to my understanding:
- 2 That you may regard discretion, and that your lips may keep knowledge. ¶
- 3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
- 4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
- 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
- 6 Lest you should ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that you can not know them.
- 7 Hear me now therefore, O you children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
- 8 Remove your way far from her, and come not near the door of her house:
- 9 Lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel:
- 10 Lest strangers be filled with your wealth; and your labors be in the house of a stranger;
- 11 And you mourn at the last, when your flesh and your body are consumed,
- 12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
- 13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to them that instructed me!
- 14 I was almost in all evil in the middle of the congregation and assembly. ¶
- 15 Drink waters out of your own cistern, and running waters out of your own well.
- 16 Let your fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
- 17 Let them be only your own, and not strangers’ with you.
- 18 Let your fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of your youth.
- 19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy you at all times; and be you ravished always with her love.
- 20 And why will you, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
- 21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he ponders all his goings. ¶
- 22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be held with the cords of his sins.
- 23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

American King James Version
Produced by Stone Engelbrite
This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.
I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.

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.
