16 Et il leur dit cette parabole: Les terres d’un homme riche avaient beaucoup rapporté.

17 Et il raisonnait en lui-même, disant: Que ferai-je? Car je n’ai pas de place pour serrer ma récolte.

18 Voici, dit-il, ce que je ferai: j’abattrai mes greniers, j’en bâtirai de plus grands, j’y amasserai toute ma récolte et tous mes biens;

19 et je dirai à mon âme:Mon âme, tu as beaucoup de biens en réserve pour plusieurs années; repose-toi, mange, bois, et réjouis-toi.
