Luke 12:15-20

15ThenG2532 He saidG3004 to them, “1BewareG3708, and be on your guardG5442 againstG575 everyG3956 formG3956 of greedG4124; for not even whenG1722 oneG5100 hasG4052 an abundanceG4052 does his lifeG2222 consistG1510 of his possessionsG5225.”

16And He toldG3004 them a parableG3850, sayingG3004, “The landG5561 of a richG4145 manG444 was veryG2164 productiveG2164.

17And he began reasoningG1260 to himselfG1438, sayingG3004, ‘WhatG5101 shall I doG4160, sinceG3754 I haveG2192 noG3756 placeG4226 to storeG4863 my cropsG2590?’

18ThenG2532 he saidG3004, ‘ThisG3778 is what I will doG4160: I will tearG2507 downG2507 my barnsG596 and buildG3618 largerG3173 onesG3173, and thereG1563 I will storeG4863 allG3956 my grainG4621 and my goodsG18.

19And I will sayG3004 to my soulG5590, “SoulG5590, 2you haveG2192 manyG4183 goodsG18 laidG2749 up for manyG4183 yearsG2094 to come; takeG373 your easeG373, eatG2068, drinkG4095 and be merryG2165.”’

20But GodG2316 saidG3004 to him, ‘3You foolG878! ThisG3778 very nightG3571 45your soulG5590 is requiredG523 of you; and 6now whoG5101 will own whatG3739 you have preparedG2090?’
