Sirach 28
- 1 He that revengeth shall find vengeance from the Lord, and he will surely keep his sins in remembrance.
- 2 Forgive thy neighbour the hurt that he hath done unto thee, so shall thy sins also be forgiven when thou prayest.
- 3 One man beareth hatred against another, and doth he seek pardon from the Lord?
- 4 He sheweth no mercy to a man, which is like himself: and doth he ask forgiveness of his own sins?
- 5 If he that is but flesh nourish hatred, who will intreat for pardon of his sins?
- 6 Remember thy end, and let enmity cease; remember corruption and death, and abide in the commandments.
- 7 Remember the commandments, and bear no malice to thy neighbour: remember the covenant of the Highest, and wink at ignorance.
- 8 Abstain from strife, and thou shalt diminish thy sins: for a furious man will kindle strife,
- 9 A sinful man disquieteth friends, and maketh debate among them that be at peace.
- 10 As the matter of the fire is, so it burneth: and as a man’s strength is, so is his wrath; and according to his riches his anger riseth; and the stronger they are which contend, the more they will be inflamed.
- 11 An hasty contention kindleth a fire: and an hasty fighting sheddeth blood.
- 12 If thou blow the spark, it shall burn: if thou spit upon it, it shall be quenched: and both these come out of thy mouth.
- 13 Curse the whisperer and doubletongued: for such have destroyed many that were at peace.
- 14 A backbiting tongue hath disquieted many, and driven them from nation to nation: strong cities hath it pulled down, and overthrown the houses of great men.
- 15 A backbiting tongue hath cast out virtuous women, and deprived them of their labours.
- 16 Whoso hearkeneth unto it shall never find rest, and never dwell quietly.
- 17 The stroke of the whip maketh marks in the flesh: but the stroke of the tongue breaketh the bones.
- 18 Many have fallen by the edge of the sword: but not so many as have fallen by the tongue.
- 19 Well is he that is defended through the venom thereof; who hath not drawn the yoke thereof, nor hath been bound in her bands.
- 20 For the yoke thereof is a yoke of iron, and the bands thereof are bands of brass.
- 21 The death thereof is an evil death, the grave were better than it.
- 22 It shall not have rule over them that fear God, neither shall they be burned with the flame thereof.
- 23 Such as forsake the Lord shall fall into it; and it shall burn in them, and not be quenched; it shall be sent upon them as a lion, and devour them as a leopard.
- 24 Look that thou hedge thy possession about with thorns, and bind up thy silver and gold,
- 25 And weigh thy words in a balance, and make a door and bar for thy mouth.
- 26 Beware thou slide not by it, lest thou fall before him that lieth in wait.

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.
