Luke 12:13-21 - The Parable Of The Rich Landowner Who Was A Fool
13 Then one of the company said to him, order my brother to give me my share of our inheritance.
14 but Jesus answer'd him, who made me a judge, or an arbitrator between you? 15 then he said to them, take care to be clear of all avarice: for the enjoyment of life does not depend upon the having large possessions.
16 to which purpose he propos'd to them this parable: a rich man had some land that was very fruitful. 17 and thus he reason'd with himself, what shall I do for want of room to store up my crop? 18 this will I do, said he, I will pull down my barns, and build greater: and there I will bestow all my rich product. 19 then I will say to my soul, soul, you have many enjoyments in reserve for a number of years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 but God said to him, thou fool, this night shall thy soul be required of thee: who then shall enjoy what thou hast provided?
21 such is he, who heaps up his treasure here, and makes no provision for another world.
