Sirach 33
- 1 Iuelis schulen not come to hym that dredith God; but God schal kepe hym in temptacioun, and schal delyuere fro yuelis.
- 2 A wijs man hatith not the comaundementis, and riytfulnessis; and he schal not be hurtlid doun, as in the tempest of a schip.
- 3 A wijs man bileeueth to the lawe of God, and the lawe is feithful to hym.
- 4 He that makith opene axyng, schal make redi a word; and so he schal preie, and schal be herd, and he schal kepe techyng, and thanne he schal answere.
- 5 The entraylis of a fool ben as a wheel of a carte, and his thouytis as an extre able to turne aboute.
- 6 An hors a staloun, so and a frend a scornere, neiyeth vndur ech sittynge aboue.
- 7 Whi a dai ouercometh a dai, and eft the liyt ouercometh liyt, and a yeer ouercometh a yeer, the sunne ouercometh the sunne?
- 8 Tho ben departid of the kunnyng of the Lord, bi the sunne maad, and kepynge the comaundement of God.
- 9 And it schal chaunge tymes and the feeste daies of hem, and in tho tymes the Jewis halewiden hali daies at an our.
- 10 God enhaunside and magnyfiede of tho hali daies; and of tho he settide in to the noumbre of daies; and God made alle men of sad erthe, and of neische erthe, whereof Adam was formed.
- 11 In the multitude of kunnyng of the Lord he departide hem, and chaungide the weies of hem.
- 12 Of hem God blesside, and enhaunside; and of hem he halewide, and chees to hym silf; of hem he curside, and made lowe, and turnyde hem fro the departyng of hem.
- 13 As cley of a pottere is in the hond of hym,
- 14 to make and dispose, that alle the weies therof ben aftir the ordynaunce of hym; so a man is in the hond of hym that made hym; and he schal yelde to hym bi his dom.
- 15 Ayens yuel is good, and ayens lijf is deth; so and a synnere is ayens a iust man. And so biholde thou in to alle the werkis of the hiyeste; twey thingis ayens tweyne, and o thing ayens oon.
- 16 And Y the laste wakide, and as he that gaderith draf of grapis, aftir the gadereris of grapis.
- 17 And Y hopide in the blessyng of God; and as he that gaderith grapis, Y fillide the pressour.
- 18 Biholde ye, for Y trauelide not to me aloone, but to alle that seken kunnyng.
- 19 Grete men, and alle puplis, here ye me; and ye gouernouris of the chirche, perseyue with eeris.
- 20 Yyue thou not power ouer thee in thi lijf to a sone, and to a womman, to a brothir, and to a freend; and yyue thou not thi possessioun to another man, lest perauenture it repente thee, and thou biseche for tho.
- 21 While thou art alyue, and brethist yit, ech man schal not chaunge thee.
- 22 For it is betere, that thi sones preye thee, than that thou biholde in to the hondis of thi sones.
- 23 In alle thi werkis be thou souereyn;
- 24 yyue thou not a wem in to thi glorie. In the day of endyng of daies of thi lijf, and in tyme of thi goyng out departe thin erytage.
- 25 Metis, and a yerde, and birthun to an asse; breed, and chastisyng, and werk to a seruaunt.
- 26 He worchith in chastisyng, and sekith to haue reste; slake thou hondis to hym, and he sekith fredom.
- 27 A yok and bridil bowen doun an hard necke; and bisi worchingis bowen doun a seruaunt.
- 28 Turment and stockis to an yuel willid seruaunt; sende thou hym in to worchyng, lest he be ydel;
- 29 for whi idilnesse hath tauyte miche malice.
- 30 Ordeyne thou hym in werk, for so it bicometh hym; that if he obeieth not, bowe thou doun hym in stockis, and make thou not hym large ouer ony man, but with out dom do thou no thing greuouse.
- 31 If a feithful seruaunt is to thee, be he as thi soule to thee; trete thou him so as a brother, for thou hast bouyt hym in the blood of lijf.
- 32 If thou hurtist hym vniustli, he schal be turned in to fleyng awei;
- 33 and if he enhaunsynge goith awei, thou noost whom thou schalt seke, and in what weie thou schalt seke hym.

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.
