Come now, you who say, “Hayom (today) or makhar (tomorrow) we will go into this or that city and we will do business there a year and will sell and make a revach (profit).” Yet you do not even have da'as of what tomorrowʼs “yom” may bring. Look at your life! Are you not an ed (mist), appearing a short time, then indeed disappearing? Instead of this, you ought to say “Im yirtzeh HASHEM” (if the L-rd wills) “we will live, also we will do this or that.” But now you boast in your pretensions. All such ravrevanut (boastfulness) is ra'ah (evil, wickedness). To the one having da'as, therefore, knowing to do tov and not doing it, to him it is chet.
