Luke 15:13

The Parable Of The Lost Son

¹² The younger one said to him, Father I want my share of the property. He divided his property between his two sons. ¹³ And not many days later, the younger son gathered everything together and went on a journey into a distant country, and there he squandered his estate with loose living. ¹⁴ He spent everything! When a famine spread over that country he was left with nothing.
