James 4:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ But you do not know what will happen tomorrow! Your life is like a ·mist [vapor; puff of smoke]. ·You can see it [It appears] for a short time, but then it ·goes away [vanishes; Prov. 27:1]. ¹⁵ ·So [or Instead] you should say, “If the Lord ·wants [wills; wishes], we will live and do this or that [Matt. 6:10].” ¹⁶ But now you are ·proud [arrogant; ^Cprobably referring to their plans for the future] and you brag [boast]. All of this bragging [boasting] is wrong [^Levil; wicked; 3:14].
