And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry."'King James Bible
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.American Standard Version
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.Young's Literal Translation
and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry.Luke 12:19 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the BibleSoul, thou hast much goods - Great possessions are generally accompanied with pride, idleness, and luxury; and these are the greatest enemies to salvation. Moderate poverty, as one justly observes, is a great talent in order to salvation; but it is one which nobody desires. Take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry - This was exactly the creed of the ancient Atheists and Epicureans. Ede, bibe, lude; post mortem nulla voluptas. What a wretched portion for an immortal spirit! and yet those who know not God have no other, and many of them not even this. Treasury of Scripture Knowledge Soul.
