Fool » Parables of » Of the rich fool
And he told them a parable, saying, The farm of a certain rich man produced abundantly; and he reasoned in himself, saying, What shall I do, for I have no place where I shall bring together my fruits? And he said, I will do this; I will take down my storehouses and build greater; and there will I bring together all my produce and my goods; read more.
and I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years rest, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself. But God said to him, Foolish man, this night they shall require your soul from you; and who then will have the goods which you have provided?

Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their own lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom; and five of them were foolish, and five wise. The foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them; read more.
but the wise took oil in the vessels with their lamps. And while the bridegroom delayed, all slumbered and slept; but at midnight there was a cry, Behold the bridegroom; go out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their own lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil, for our lamps have gone out. But the wise answered, saying, [No]; lest there be not enough for us and you; go rather to those that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy the bridegroom came; and the ready went in with him to the wedding, and the door was shut. And afterwards the other virgins came, and said, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, I tell you truly I know you not. Watch, therefore, for you know not the day nor the hour.
