“Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:”
Now listen, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money' — the direct address identifies those who speak with presumptuous certainty about future plans. The detailed itinerary ('to this or that city,' 'spend a year there') and commercial objective ('carry on business, make money') show the specificity of worldly calculation. The presumption is that the future lies within human control and predictability.
