15 And he said to them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man' life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.16 And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have much goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.20 But God said to him, You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you have provided?21 So is he that lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
