James 4:13-16 As for you, who affirm, "to-day, or, to-morrow we will go to such a city, we will stay there a whole year, there we will traffic, and find our account."

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ As for you, who affirm, "to-day, or, to-morrow we will go to such a city, we will stay there a whole year, there we will traffic, and find our account." ¹⁴ how do you know, what will happen to-morrow? for, "what is your life?" a vapour that just appears, and then vanishes. ¹⁵ your language ought to be this, "if the Lord pleases to give us life, we shall do this, or that." ¹⁶ you triumph in your vain projects, but your presumption is vicious.
