15 And he said to them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man' life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.

16 And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

18 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.

19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have much goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

20 But God said to him, You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you have provided?

21 So is he that lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

15 And He said to them, Take heed and beware of covetousness, for ones life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.

16 Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully.

17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, since I have nowhere to gather my fruits?

18 So he said, I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build larger, and there I will gather all my fruits and my goods.

19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.

20 But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have prepared?

21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
