16 And he told them this parable: "The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop. |
17 He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.' |
18 "Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. |
19 And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry." ' |
20 "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' |
21 "This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God." |
