Luke 12:18

The Parable of the Rich Fool

17So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’18Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.19Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’
