“I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’”
Luke 12:19 (WEB)
Context Reading
17He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’ 18He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’ 20“But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared — whose will they be?’ 21So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
