Luke 12:20

The Parable Of The Rich Landowner Who Was A Fool

¹⁹ And I will say to myself, "You have plenty of goods stored up for many years; relax, eat, drink, celebrate!"' ²⁰ But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded back from you, but who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' ²¹ So it is with the one who stores up riches for himself, but is not rich toward God."
