Luke 12:16-21

Tree of Life Version

^{[a] 16} And Yeshua told them a parable, saying, “The land of a certain rich man produced good crops. ¹⁷ And he began thinking to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do? I don’t have a place to store my harvest!’ ¹⁸ And he said, ‘Here’s what I’ll do! I’ll tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I’ll store all my grain and my goods. ¹⁹ And I’ll say to myself, ’O my soul, you have plenty of goods saved up for many years! So take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry.”’ ²⁰ But God said to him, ‘You fool! Tonight your soul is being demanded back from you! And what you have prepared, whose will that be?’ ^{[b] 21} So it is with the one who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich in God.”
