²⁷ And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself a cubit taller?

¹⁴ I am certain that whatever God does will be for ever. No addition may be made to it, nothing may be taken from it; and God has done it so that man may be in fear before him.

²⁵ And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself any taller?

²⁶ If, then, you are not able to do even that which is least, why are you troubled about the rest?

³⁶ You may not take an oath by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.

⁵ You have made my days no longer than a hand's measure; and my years are nothing in your eyes; truly, every man is but a breath. (Selah.)

¹⁸ But now God has put every one of the parts in the body as it was pleasing to him.
