¹⁶ Then Jesus told them this parable: "There was once a rich man who had land which bore good crops. ¹⁷ He began to think to himself, 'I don't have a place to keep all my crops. What can I do? ¹⁸ This is what I will do,' he told himself; 'I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, where I will store the grain and all my other goods. ¹⁹ Then I will say to myself, Lucky man! You have all the good things you need for many years. Take life easy, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself !' ²⁰ But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night you will have to give up your life; then who will get all these things you have kept for yourself ? ' " ²¹ And Jesus concluded, "This is how it is with those who pile up riches for themselves but are not rich in God's sight."
