Luke 12:15-21 And he said to them, Take heed and beware of all covetousness; for even when one hath great abundance, his life doth not depend upon his possessions.

Noyes⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And he said to them, Take heed and beware of all covetousness; for even when one hath great abundance, his life doth not depend upon his possessions. ¹⁶ And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully. ¹⁷ And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do? for I have not where to store my crops. ¹⁸ And he said, This will I do; I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I store all my crops and my goods; ¹⁹ and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry. ²⁰ But God said to him, Fool! this night will thy soul he required of thee; and whose will those things be which thou hast laid up? ²¹ So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.
