Lucas 12

15 And He said to them, *(1 Tim. 6:6–10)"Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s 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 no room to store my crops?’18 So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods.19 And I will say to my soul, *Eccl. 11:9; 1 Cor. 15:32; James 5:5"Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; *(Eccl. 2:24; 3:13; 5:18; 8:15)eat, drink, and be merry." ’20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night *Job 27:8; Ps. 52:7; (James 4:14)your soul will be required of you; *Ps. 39:6; Jer. 17:11then whose will those things be which you have provided?’

21 "So is he who lays up treasure for himself, *(Matt. 6:20; Luke 12:33; 1 Tim. 6:18, 19; James 2:5; 5:1–5)and is not rich toward God."
