Luke 12:20-22
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
20 But God said to him, You fool! This very night [a] they [the messengers of God] will demand your soul of you; and all the things that you have prepared, whose will they be?(A)
21 So it is with the one who continues to lay up and hoard possessions for himself and is not rich [in his relation] to God [this is how he fares].
22 And [Jesus] said to His disciples, Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious and troubled [with cares] about your life, as to what you will [have to] eat; or about your body, as to what you will [have to] wear.
