Proverbs 27
Given that Andy set this site up as a site dedicated to "the intersection of faith and economics" I would be remiss in failing to point out that today's reading includes perhaps the first statement of the law of decreasing marginal utility:
7 He who is full loathes honey,
but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.
The Book of Proverbs contains many other pearls that can be seen as equivalent to modern social scientific discoveries. Further evidence for Ecclesiastes 1:9:
9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
