Sirach 26
- 1 The hosebonde of a good womman is blessid; for whi the noumbre of her yeeris is double.
- 2 A strong womman delitith hir hosebonde; and shal fille in pees the yeeris of his lijf.
- 3 A good womman is a good part; in the good part of hem that dreden God, sche schal be youun to a man for goode dedis.
- 4 Forsothe the herte of a riche man and of a pore man is good; in al tyme her cheer is glad.
- 5 Myn herte dredde of thre thingis, and my face dredde in the fourthe thing.
- 6 Bitraiyng of a citee, and the gadering togidere of puple,
- 7 and fals chaleng; alle thingis greuouse on deth.
- 8 The sorewe of herte, and morenyng is a ielouse womman.
- 9 In a gelouse womman is betyng of tunge, and sche comyneth with alle men.
- 10 As a yok of oxis which is mouyd, so and a wickid womman; he that holdith hir, is as he that takith a scorpioun.
- 11 A drunkelew womman is greet ire, and dispisyng; and hir filthe schal not be hilid.
- 12 The fornycacioun of a womman is in the reisyng of yyen; and schal be knowun in the iye liddis of hir.
- 13 Make thou sad kepyng in a douytir not turnynge a wei hir silf; lest sche mysvse hir silf, if sche fyndith occasioun.
- 14 Be thou war of al vnreuerence of hir iyen; and wondre thou not, if sche dispisith thee.
- 15 As a weiegoere thirstynge schal opene the mouth at a welle, and schal drynke of ech watir next; and the forseid douytir schal sitte ayens ech pale, and schal opene the arowe caas ayens ech arowe, til sche faile.
- 16 The grace of a bisi womman schal delite hir hosebonde; and schal make fat hise boonus.
- 17 The kunnyng of hir is the yifte of God.
- 18 A wijs womman and stille is not chaungyng of a lernyd soule.
- 19 Grace on grace is an hooli womman, and schamfast.
- 20 Forsothe al weiyng is not worth a contynent soule.
- 21 As the sunne risynge in the world in the hiyeste thingis of God, so the fairnesse of a good womman is in to the ournement of hir hous.
- 22 A lanterne schynynge on an hooli candilstike, and the fairnesse of a face on stidfast age.
- 23 Goldun pileris on siluerne foundementis, and stidfast feet on the soolis of a stidfast womman.
- 24 Euerlastynge foundementis on a sad stoon, and the heestis of God in the herte of an hooli womman.
- 25 In twei thingis myn herte was maad sori, and in the thridde thing wrathfulnesse cam to me.
- 26 A man a werriour failynge bi nedynesse, and a wijs man dispisid.
- 27 And God hath maad hym redi to the swerd, that passith ouer fro riytfulnesse to synne.
- 28 Twei spices apperiden harde and perilouse to me; a marchaunt is delyuered of hard fro his necgligence, and a tauerner schal not be iustified of synnes of lippis.

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.
