NET Notes

1 tn The form אַל־תִּתְהַלֵּל (’al-tithallel) is the Hitpael jussive negated; it is from the common verb “to praise,” and so in this setting means “to praise oneself” or “to boast.”

1 sn The verse rules out one’s overconfident sense of ability to control the future. No one can presume on the future.

2 sn The word “tomorrow” is a metonymy of subject, meaning what will be done tomorrow, or in the future in general.

3 sn The expression “you do not know” balances the presumption of the first line, reminding the disciple of his ignorance and therefore his need for humility (e.g., Matt 6:34; Luke 12:20; Jas 4:13-16).
