Wisdom 11
- 1 She prospered their works in the hand of the holy prophet.
- 2 They went through the wilderness that was not inhabited, and pitched tents in places where there lay no way.
- 3 They stood against their enemies, and were avenged of their adversaries.
- 4 When they were thirsty, they called upon thee, and water was given them out of the flinty rock, and their thirst was quenched out of the hard stone.
- 5 For by what things their enemies were punished, by the same they in their need were benefited.
- 6 For instead of a perpetual running river troubled with foul blood,
- 7 For a manifest reproof of that commandment, whereby the infants were slain, thou gavest unto them abundance of water by a means which they hoped not for:
- 8 Declaring by that thirst then how thou hadst punished their adversaries.
- 9 For when they were tried albeit but in mercy chastised, they knew how the ungodly were judged in wrath and tormented, thirsting in another manner than the just.
- 10 For these thou didst admonish and try, as a father: but the other, as a severe king, thou didst condemn and punish.
- 11 Whether they were absent or present, they were vexed alike.
- 12 For a double grief came upon them, and a groaning for the remembrance of things past.
- 13 For when they heard by their own punishments the other to be benefited, they had some feeling of the Lord.
- 14 For whom they respected with scorn, when he was long before thrown out at the casting forth of the infants, him in the end, when they saw what came to pass, they admired.
- 15 But for the foolish devices of their wickedness, wherewith being deceived they worshipped serpents void of reason, and vile beasts, thou didst send a multitude of unreasonable beasts upon them for vengeance;
- 16 That they might know, that wherewithal a man sinneth, by the same also shall he be punished.
- 17 For thy Almighty hand, that made the world of matter without form, wanted not means to send among them a multitude of bears or fierce lions,
- 18 Or unknown wild beasts, full of rage, newly created, breathing out either a fiery vapour, or filthy scents of scattered smoke, or shooting horrible sparkles out of their eyes:
- 19 Whereof not only the harm might dispatch them at once, but also the terrible sight utterly destroy them.
- 20 Yea, and without these might they have fallen down with one blast, being persecuted of vengeance, and scattered abroad through the breath of thy power: but thou hast ordered all things in measure and number and weight.
- 21 For thou canst shew thy great strength at all times when thou wilt; and who may withstand the power of thine arm?
- 22 For the whole world before thee is as a little grain of the balance, yea, as a drop of the morning dew that falleth down upon the earth.
- 23 But thou hast mercy upon all; for thou canst do all things, and winkest at the sins of men, because they should amend.
- 24 For thou lovest all the things that are, and abhorrest nothing which thou hast made: for never wouldest thou have made any thing, if thou hadst hated it.
- 25 And how could any thing have endured, if it had not been thy will? or been preserved, if not called by thee?
- 26 But thou sparest all: for they are thine, O Lord, thou lover of souls.

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.
