¹³ Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow let's go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit."

¹⁴ Whereas you don't know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.

¹⁵ For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that."

¹⁶ But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.

⁶ In all your ways acknowledge him, And he will direct your paths.

⁸ That he may guard the paths of justice, And preserve the way of his saints.

¹⁹ Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.
