16 And he told them a parable. "A rich man's estate bore heavy crops.
17 So he debated, 'What am I to do? I have no room to store my crops.'
18 And he said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my granaries and build larger ones, where I can store all my produce and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have ample stores laid up for many a year; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry."'
20 But God said to him, 'Foolish man, this very night your soul is wanted; and who will get all you have prepared?'
21 So fares the man who lays up treasure for himself instead of gaining the riches of God."
22 To his disciples he said, "Therefore I tell you, do not trouble about what you are to eat in life, nor about what you are to put on your body;
23 life is something more than food, and the body is something more than clothes.
24 Look at the crows! they neither sow nor reap, no storehouse or granary have they, and yet God feeds them. How much more are you worth than birds?
