Luke 12:20

The Parable Of The Rich Landowner Who Was A Fool

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? ²¹ So that is what comes to the man who gets wealth for himself, and has not wealth in the eyes of God.
