* And one of the company said unto him , Master , speak to my brother , that he divide the inheritance with me . * And he said unto him , Man , who made me a judge or a divider over you ? * And he said unto them , Take heed , and beware of covetousness : for a man 's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth . * And he spake a parable unto them , saying , The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully : * And he thought within himself , saying , What shall I do , because I have no room where to bestow my fruits ? * And he said , This will I do : I will pull down my barns , and build greater ; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods . * 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 . * But God said unto him , Thou fool , this night thy soul shall be required of thee : then whose shall those things be , which thou hast provided ? * So is he that layeth up treasure for himself , and is not rich toward God .
