Luke 12:15-20

15Then He said to them, “Watch out and guard yourselves against every form of greed; for not even when one has an overflowing abundance does his life consist of nor is it derived from his possessions.”

16Then He told them a parable, saying, “There was a rich man whose land was very fertile and productive.

17And he began thinking to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place [large enough in which] to store my crops?’

18Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my storehouses and build larger ones, and I will store all my grain and my goods there.

19And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many good things stored up, [enough] for many years; rest and relax, eat, drink and be merry (celebrate continually).” ’

20But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own all the things you have prepared?’
