A reading from the Letter of St James 4: 13-15

Come now, you who say,
"Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town
and spend a year there and trade and get gain";
whereas you do not know about tomorrow.
What is your life?
For you are a mist that appears for a little time
and then vanishes.
Instead you ought to say,
"If the Lord wills, we shall live and we shall do this or that."

This is the word of the Lord
