¹⁶ But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

⁶ Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

27 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

⁷ Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

¹⁴ Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.

⁷ How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

¹⁴ But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

¹⁰ For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.

52 Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.

⁷ For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

⁸ Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
