15 And he said to them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all greed: for a man's life does not consist 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 reasoned to himself, saying, What shall I do, because I don't have a place to bestow my fruits?

18 And he said, I will do this: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there I will bestow all my grain 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, be merry.

20 But God said to him, You foolish one, this [is] the night they demand back your soul from you; and the things which you have prepared, whose will they be?

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