Luke 12:14-25 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

14. And he said to him, `Man, who set me a judge or a divider over you?'

15. And he said unto them, `Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because not in the abundance of one's goods is his life.'

16. And he spake a simile unto them, saying, `Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;

17. and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where I shall gather together my fruits?

18. and he said, This I will do, I will take down my storehouses, and greater ones I will build, and I will gather together there all my products and my good things,

19. and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry.

20. `And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst prepare--to whom shall they be?

21. so [is] he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.'

22. And he said unto his disciples, `Because of this, to you I say, Be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat; nor for the body, what ye may put on;

23. the life is more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing.

24. `Consider the ravens, that they sow not, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God doth nourish them; how much better are ye than the fowls?

25. and who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
