16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, `What will I do, because I don`t have room to store my crops?`
18 He said, `This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19 I will tell my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, be merry."`
20 But God said to him, `You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared -- whose will they be?`
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
22 He said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, don`t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
