This is the path of those who have foolish confidence; yet after them people approve of their boasts. Selah
But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’
For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,”
And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house— for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’
Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. So you are witnesses and you consent to the deeds of your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs.
But we will do everything that we have vowed, make offerings to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her, as we did, both we and our fathers, our kings and our officials, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. For then we had plenty of food, and prospered, and saw no disaster.
