A new segment was posted to the Mishlei section today (Tuesday August 4). Every person should think about the relationship between the effort he expends to earn his living and the value of what he acquires. Depending on the vocation he chooses, the amount of effort may be excessive and out of proportion to what he gets out of it.

The new segment consists of two proverbs. Accordingly, to keep the segment numbering in sync with the verse numbering, the next segment  will be identified as 15-18. There will be no segment 15-17.
