16. And he spoke a parable unto 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 storehouses and build greater, and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20. 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 stored up?
21. So is he that lays up treasure for himself and is not rich in God.
