13 Come, now, you who say: “Today or tomorrow we will travel to this city and will spend a year there, and we will do business and make some profit,”+ 14 whereas you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow.+ For you are a mist that appears for a little while and then disappears.+ 15 Instead, you should say: “If Jehovah* wills,+ we will live and do this or that.” 16 But now you take pride in your arrogant boasting. All such boasting is wicked.
