ISV(i)
16 Then he told them a parable. He said, “The land of a certain rich man produced good crops.
17 So he began to think to himself, ‘What should I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’
18 Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and I’ll store all my grain and goods in them.
19 Then I’ll say to myself, “You’ve stored up plenty of good things for many years. Take it easy, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.”’
20 But God told him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded back from you. Now who will get the things you’ve accumulated?’
21 That’s how it is with the person who stores up treasures for himself rather than with God.”
22Stop Worrying
Then Jesus told his disciples, “That’s why I’m telling you to stop worrying about your life—what you will eat—or about your body—what you will wear,
23 because life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.
24 Consider the crows. They don’t plant or harvest, they don’t even have a storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
