The Dead Sea

Proverbs 27: 23-27
"Riches disappear fast. And the King's crown doesn't stay in his family
forever -- so watch your business interests closely. Know the state of your
flocks and your herds; then there will be lamb's wool enough for clothing,
and goat's milk enough for food for all your household after the hay is
harvested and the new crop appears, and the mountain grasses are
gathered in."
In ancient times, it was the custom, when going to pay the king's taxes, to
wear your oldest clothes. You hoped that the assessor would go easy on
you, based on your appearance. It's good to see that on this Tax Day, April
15th, that some of you continue this fine tradition.
