Luke 12:14-19 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

14. But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”

15. He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”

16. He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.

17. He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’

18. He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.

19. I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’
