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, 1you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry."'
20 "But God said to him, '2You fool! This very night 3your soul is required of you; and 4now who will own what you have prepared?'
21 "So is the man who 5stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
22 And He said to His disciples, "6For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on.
23 "For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.
24 "Consider the 7ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor 8barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds!
25 "And which of you by worrying can add a single 9hour to his life's span?
26 "If then you cannot * do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters?
27 "Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even 10Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.
