16. And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
17. And he reasoned within himself saying, What shall I do? for I have not a place where I shall lay up my fruits.
18. And he said, This will I do: I will take away my granaries and build greater, and there I will lay up all my produce and my good things;
19. and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much good things laid by for many years; repose thyself, eat, drink, be merry.
20. But God said to him, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?
21. Thus is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
