Luke 12:16-21

16And He told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man was very productive. 17And he began reasoning to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’ 18Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19And I will say to my soul, “Soul, 1you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.”’ 20But God said to him, ‘2You fool! This very night 34your soul is required of you; and 5now who will own what you have prepared?’ 21So is the man who 6stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
