10 “‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: On that day
thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil scheme.
11 You will say, “I will invade a land of unwalled
villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people—all of them living
without walls and without gates and bars.

the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock
and goods, living at the center of the land.”

against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of
his possessions.”

certain rich man produced a good crop.
17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no
place to store my crops.’
18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I'll do. I will tear
down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my
goods.
19 And I'll say to myself, “You have plenty of good
things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’
20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night
your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared
for yourself?’
21 “This is how it will be with anyone who stores up
things for himself but is not rich toward God.”
