• And He told them a parable, saying, The land of
  a 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? Then
  he said, This is what I will do I will tear
  down my barns and build larger ones, and there I
  will store all my grain and my goods. And I will
  say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid
  up for many years to come take your ease, eat,
  drink and be merry.

  own what you have prepared? So is the man who
  stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich
  toward God.
