15 And He said to them, “Beware, and keep yourselves from all covetousness, because not to anyone is his life in the abundance of that which he possesses.” 16 And He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly. 17 And he was reasoning within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, because I have nowhere I will store up my fruits?’ 18 And he said, ‘This I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build larger ones, and I will gather there all my grain and goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many good things laid up for many years; take your rest, eat, drink, be merry.”’ 20 And God said to him, ‘Fool! This night, your soul is required of you; but what you prepared—to whom will it be?’ 21 So is the one treasuring up for himself and not being rich toward God.” Luke 12:15-21, Berean Literal Bible.
