Luke 12:19 in Context — Luke 12

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.

20 Mais Dieu lui dit:Insensé! Cette nuit même ton âme te sera redemandée; et ce que tu as préparé,pour qui cela sera-t-il?

21 Il en est ainsi de celui qui amasse des trésors pour lui-même, et qui n’est pas riche pour Dieu.
