And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
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.
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.
But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thya soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
