PARABLE OF THE RICH FOOL

LUKE 12:16-21

.

12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought  forth plentifully: 
 

.

12:17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 

.

12:18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

 
.

12:19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

 
.

12:20 But God said unto him, You fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 

.

12:21 So is he that lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
