Luke 12:16-21

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁶ And He told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man was very productive. ¹⁷ And he began reasoning to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’ ¹⁸ Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. ¹⁹ And I will say to my soul, “Soul, ^(A)you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.”’ ²⁰ But God said to him, ‘^(B)You fool! This very night ^[a](C)your soul is required of you; and ^(D)now who will own what you prepared?’ ²¹ So is the one who ^(E)stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
