16 And he spoke a similitude to them, saying: The land of a certain rich man brought forth plenty of fruits.
17 And he thought within himself, saying: What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said: This will I do: I will pull down my barns and will build greater: and into them will I gather all things that are grown to me and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul: Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years. Take thy rest: eat, drink, make good cheer.
20 But God said to him: Thou fool, this night do they require thy soul of thee. And whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself and is not rich towards God.
