Luke 12:16-22

Listen to Luke 12:16-22

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, 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.
