highlighted James 4:13-16 ESV
Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit"—yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that."As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.

highlighted James 3:9-12 ESV
From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water?Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water.With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God.
