15. En Hy sê vir hulle: "Pas op en wees op julle hoede vir hebsug, want iemand se lewe bestaan nie uit die oorvloed van sy besittings nie."

16. Toe vertel Hy hulle hierdie gelykenis: "'n Ryk man se grond het goed gedra, 

17. "En hy het by homself geredeneer en gesê: 'Wat sal ek doen, want ek het geen plek waar ek my oes kan insamel nie?

18. "Toe sê hy: 'Dit sal ek doen: ek sal my skure afbreek en groter bou, ek sal daar al my opbrengste en my goed insamel. 

19. "'En ek sal vir my siel sê: 'Siel, jy het baie goed wat weggesit is vir baie jare; neem rus, eet, drink, wees vrolik!'

20. "Maar God het aan hom gesê: 'Jou dwaas, in hierdie nag sal hulle jou siel van jou afeis; en wat jy gereedgemaak het, wie s'n sal dit wees?'"

21. "So gaan dit met hom wat vir homself skatte vergader, en nie ryk is in God nie."
