Luke 12:17-22 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

17. “And he was reasoning within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, because I have no room to store my crops?’

18. “And he said, ‘I am going to do this: pull down my storehouses and build greater, and store all my crops and my goods there,

19. then say to myself, “Life, you have many goods laid up for many years, take your ease, eat, drink, rejoice.” ’

20. “But Elohim said to him, ‘You mindless one! This night your life shall be demanded from you. And who shall own what you have prepared?’

21. “So is he who is storing up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward Elohim.”

22. And He said to His taught ones, “For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you shall eat; nor about the body, what you shall put on.
