15. And he said to them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16. And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17. And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to deposit my fruits?
18. And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I deposit all my fruits and my goods.
19. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast abundance of goods laid up for many years; take thy ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20. But God said to him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
21. So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.
