Luke 12:16-24

Godbey(i) 16 He spake a parable to them, saying, The farm of a certain rich man was very productive: 17 and he was reasoning in himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no place where I shall store my fruits? 18 And he said, I will do this: I will take down my barns, and build greater, and there I will gather all my fruits and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry. 20 But God said to him, Thou fool, this night they are demanding thy soul from thee; and to whom shall those things which thou hast prepared, belong? 21 So is every one laying up treasure for himself, and not rich toward God. 22 And He spoke to His disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not solicitous for your soul, what you may eat; nor for your body, what you may put on. 23 The soul is more than food, and the body more than raiment. 24 Observe the ravens, because they neither sow nor reap; to which there is no storehouse nor barn, and God feeds them; are you not much better than the fowls?
