Luke 12:19

The Parable Of The Rich Landowner Who Was A Fool

¹⁸ And he said, This I will do: I will take down my store-houses and make greater ones, and there I will put all my grain and my goods. ¹⁹ And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have a great amount of goods in store, enough for a number of years; be at rest, take food and wine and be happy. ²⁰ But God said to him, You foolish one, tonight I will take your soul from you, and who then will be the owner of all the things which you have got together?
