certain rich man was very productive. And he began reasoning to
himself, saying, What shall I do, since I have no place to store my
crops? And he said, This is what I will l do: I will tear down my
barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain
and my goods.

goods laid up for many years to come; take you ease, eat, drink,

prepared? So is the man who lays up treasure for himself, and is
not rich toward God.
