Luke 12:13-21
The Parable of the Rich Fool

13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

13:

14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

14:

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

15:

16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

16:

17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

17:

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.

18:

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

19:

20 But God said unto him, [Thou] fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

20:

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

21:
