Luke 12:13-21\n\nThe Parable of the Rich Fool\n13 Someone in the crowd said to him, \u201cTeacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.\u201d\n\n14 Jesus replied, \u201cMan, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?\u201d 15 Then he said to them, \u201cWatch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.\u201d\n\n16 And he told them this parable: \u201cThe ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, \u2018What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.\u2019\n\n18 \u201cThen he said, \u2018This is what I\u2019ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I\u2019ll say to myself, \u201cYou have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.\u201d\u2019\n\n20 \u201cBut God said to him, \u2018You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?\u2019\n\n21 \u201cThis is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.\u201d
