James 4
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
11 Ref Do not say evil against one another, my brothers. He who says evil against his brother or makes himself his brother's judge, says evil against the law and is judging the law: and in judging the law you become, not a doer of the law but a judge.

13 Ref How foolish it is to say, Today or tomorrow we will go into this town, and be there for a year and do business there and get wealth:
