Lexham English Bible LEB
New International Version NIV
13 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will travel to such and such a city and spend a year there, and carry on business and make a profit,"
13
Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.”
14 you who do not know {what will happen tomorrow}, {what your life will be like}. For you are a smoky vapor that appears for a short time and then disappears.
14
Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
15 Instead you should say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that."
15
Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”
16 But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
16
As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil.
17 Therefore, to the one who knows to do good and does not do [it], to him it is sin.
17
If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.
