¹⁶ Then Jesus told them a story. He said, "A certain rich man's land produced a good crop. ¹⁷ He thought to himself, 'What should I do? I don't have any place to store my crops.' ¹⁸ "Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my storerooms and build bigger ones. I will store all my grain and my other things in them. ¹⁹ I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things stored away for many years. Take life easy. Eat, drink and have a good time." ' ²⁰ "But God said to him, 'You foolish man! This very night I will take your life away from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' ²¹ "That is how it will be for anyone who stores things away for himself but is not rich in God's eyes."
