Luke 12:16-21 (NASB)

16 Luke 12:16 And He told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man was very productive. 17 Luke 12:17 “And he began reasoning to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’ 18 Luke 12:18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 Luke 12:19 ‘And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.”’ 20 Luke 12:20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?’ 21 Luke 12:21 “So is the man who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
