Proverbs 27:1

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

For He is our God,
and we are the people of His pasture,
the sheep under His care.

Today, if you hear His voice:

“Come, let me get some wine,
let’s guzzle some beer;
and tomorrow will be like today,
only far better!”

>

Then I’ll say to myself, “You have many goods stored up for many years. Take it easy; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.”’

For He says:

I heard you in an acceptable time,
and I helped you in the day of salvation.

Look, now is the acceptable time; now is the day of salvation.

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will travel to such and such a city and spend a year there and do business and make a profit.”

The Lord will also hand Israel over to the Philistines along with you. Tomorrow you and your sons will be with me,

and the Lord will hand Israel’s army over to the Philistines.”

You must burn up what remains of the meat and bread.

Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go away! Come back later.
I’ll give it tomorrow”—when it is there with you.

But as it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
