Proverbs 25
- 1 Also these are Proverbs of Solomon, that men of Hezekiah king of Judah transcribed: --
-
2 The honour of God
is to hide a thing, And the honour of kings to search out a matter. -
3 The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, And the heart of kings--
are unsearchable. - 4 Take away dross from silver, And a vessel for the refiner goeth forth,
- 5 Take away the wicked before a king, And established in righteousness is his throne.
- 6 Honour not thyself before a king, And in the place of the great stand not.
-
7 For better
that he hath said to thee, `Come thou up hither,' Than that he humble thee before a noble, Whom thine eyes have seen. - 8 Go not forth to strive, haste, turn, What dost thou in its latter end, When thy neighbour causeth thee to blush?
- 9 Thy cause plead with thy neighbour, And the secret counsel of another reveal not,
- 10 Lest the hearer put thee to shame, And thine evil report turn not back.
-
11 Apples of gold in imagery of silver,
Is the word spoken at its fit times. -
12 A ring of gold, and an ornament of pure gold,
Is the wise reprover to an attentive ear. -
13 As a vessel of snow in a day of harvest,
So is a faithful ambassador to those sending him, And the soul of his masters he refresheth. -
14 Clouds and wind, and rain there is none,
Is a man boasting himself in a false gift. - 15 By long-suffering is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue breaketh a bone.
-
16 Honey thou hast found--eat thy sufficiency, Lest thou be satiated
with it, and hast vomited it. -
17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house, Lest he be satiated
with thee, and have hated thee. -
18 A maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow,
Is the man testifying against his neighbour a false testimony. -
19 A bad tooth, and a tottering foot,
Is the confidence of the treacherous in a day of adversity. -
20 Whoso is taking away a garment in a cold day,
Is as vinegar on nitre, And a singer of songs on a sad heart. - 21 If he who is hating thee doth hunger, cause him to eat bread, And if he thirst, cause him to drink water.
- 22 For coals thou art putting on his head, And Jehovah giveth recompense to thee.
- 23 A north wind bringeth forth rain, And a secret tongue--indignant faces.
-
24 Better to sit on a corner of a roof, Than
with a woman of contentions, and a house of company. -
25
As cold waters for a weary soul, So is a good report from a far country. -
26 A spring troubled, and a fountain corrupt,
Is the righteous falling before the wicked. - 27 The eating of much honey is not good, Nor a searching out of one's own honour--honour.
-
28 A city broken down without walls,
Is a man without restraint over his spirit!

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.
