16 Then he spoke to them using a comparison, saying: “The fertile land of a certain wealthy man produced crops. 17 And he thought within himself, saying: ‘What should I do? For I have nowhere to gather together my crops.’ 18 And he said: ‘This is what I will do. I will tear down my barns and build larger ones. And into these, I will gather all the things that have been grown for me, as well as my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul: Soul, you have many goods, stored up for many years. Relax, eat, drink, and be cheerful.’ 20 But God said to him: ‘Foolish one, this very night they require your soul of you. To whom, then, will those things belong, which you have prepared?’ 21 So it is with him who stores up for himself, and is not wealthy with God.” Luke 12:16-21, Catholic Public Domain Version.
