15 And he said to them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

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 place where to store my fruits?

18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I store all my fruits and my goods.

19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many goods laid up for many years; take thy ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

20 But God said to him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? thy…: Gr. do they require thy soul

21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
