15 And He said to them, Watch and keep yourselves from covetousness. For a man's life is 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 in which to store my fruits?

18 And he said, I will do this. I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and I will store all my fruits and my goods there.

19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid [up] for many years. Take your ease, eat drink [and] be merry.

20 But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul shall be required of you, then whose shall be those things which you have prepared?

21 So [is] he who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.
