James 4:14

¹² There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?

¹³ Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business, and make a profit.”

You do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

¹⁵ Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or that.”

¹⁶ As it is, you boast in your proud intentions. All such boasting is evil.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
