Luke:12:13-21

*
And one from the crowd said to Him ,
Teacher ,
tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me .
*
But He said to him ,
Man ,
who appointed Me a judge or a divider over you ?
*
And He said to them ,
Beware ,
and keep back from covetousness ;
for one '
s life is not in the abundance of the things which are his .
*
And He spoke a parable to them ,
saying ,
A certain rich man produced well from the land .
*
And he reasoned within himself ,
saying ,
What may I do ,
for I have nowhere I may gather my fruits ?
*
And he said ,
I will do this ;
I will tear down my barns and I will build larger ;
and I will gather there all my produce and my goods .
*
And I will say to my soul ,
Soul ,
you have many goods laid up for many years ;
take rest ,
eat ,
drink ,
and be glad .
*
But God said to him ,
Fool !
This night they demand your soul from you ;
and that which you prepared ,
to whom will it be ?
*
So is he treasuring up for himself ,
and not being rich toward God .
