Luke 12:20

The Parable Of The Rich Landowner Who Was A Fool

¹⁹ Then I’ll say to myself, “You have many goods stored up for many years. Take it easy; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.”’ ²⁰ “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life is demanded of you. And the things you have prepared—whose will they be?’ ²¹ “That’s how it is with the one who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”
