Matthew 16:3

and the morrowtide, Today tempest, for (the) heaven (s) shineth heavily. Then ye know how to deem [wisely] the face of heaven, but ye may not know the tokens of (the) times. (and in the morning, Today there shall be a storm, for the sky is dark. So ye wisely know how to judge the face of the heavens, but ye cannot discern the signs of the times./but can ye not understand the signs of the times?)
