　　Commentary on Today's Verse

　　Commentary on Proverbs 11:9

　　(Read Proverbs 11:9)

　　Hypocrites delude men into error and sin by artful objections against the truths of God's word.

　　Proverbs 11:9 In-Context

　　7 Hopes placed in mortals die with them; all the promise ofTwo Hebrew manuscripts; most Hebrew manuscripts, Vulgate, Syriac and Targum "When the wicked die, their hope perishes;" / "all they expected from" their power comes to nothing.

　　8 The righteous person is rescued from trouble, and it falls on the wicked instead.

　　9 With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbors, but through knowledge the righteous escape.

　　10 When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.

　　11 Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is destroyed.

The monopoly markup
Note: This is post #48 in a weekly video series on basic microeconomics. Ever wonder why pharmaceuticals are so expensive? In this video by Marginal Revolution University, Alex Tabarrok shows how low elasticity of demand results in monopoly markups. This is especially the case with goods that involve the “you can’t take it with you” effect (for example, people with serious medical conditions are relatively insensitive to the price of life-saving drugs) and the “other people’s money” effect (if third...

The spiritual core of liberty
Last week FEE published an essay by economist Dierdre McCloskey titled “The Core of Liberty is Economic Liberty.” McCloskey writes, [E]conomic liberty is the liberty about which most ordinary people care. True, liberty of speech, the press, assembly, petitioning the government, and voting for a new government are in the long run essential protections for all liberty, including the economic right to buy and sell. But the lofty liberties are cherished mainly by an educated minority. Most people—in the long...
‘Can people of faith hold public office?’: Transatlantic insights
Believing in a faith, to the point that it impacts one’s views in any way, is increasingly seen as a disqualification for public office. Two recent events raise the possibility that this unofficial employment test is part of a larger, civilizational shift taking place on both sides of the Atlantic. In the UK last week, a firestorm erupted when Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg told Piers Morgan that he believes in the Roman Catholic Church’s teachings on marriage and abortion. (Tim...

Erasing the cross: Public vs. private sector
The European discount grocery chain Lidl stirred controversy by removing the cross from its products’ labels, so as not to give offense. Eagle-eyed consumers noticed that Eirdanous, its Greek food line, featured a picture of a blue-domed Greek Orthodox Church by the sea – but unlike every other such church, its cupola was not topped by a cross. pany Photoshopped the symbol of Christ’s victory over death and Hell off of the Anastasi(in Greek, literally, “resurrection”) Church inSantorini. Perhaps to...
The consuming self as tyrant
“Consumerism is, quite precisely, the consuming of life by the things consumed. It is living in a manner that is measured by having rather than being.” -Richard John Neuhaus In a free economy, we each serve distinct roles as both producers and consumers. As producers, we create and serve, leveraging the work of our hands to meet the needs of our neighbors. As consumers, however, we look to ourselves and our own needs. Consumption is good and necessary thing, but...
