Luke 12:20

⁸For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?

¹¹As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right. In the middle of his days, they will leave him. At his end, he will be a fool.

⁷For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out.

⁶“Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn’t know who shall gather.

¹⁴Yet you don’t know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

¹⁶Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay; ¹⁷he may prepare it, but the just will put it on, and the innocent will divide the silver.

¹⁷for when he dies he will carry nothing away. His glory won’t descend after him. ¹⁸Though while he lived he blessed his soul— and men praise you when you do well for yourself— ¹⁹he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.

²²The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. ²³In Hades,^[+] he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.

⁵God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah. ⁶The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying, ⁷“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”

⁸He who increases his wealth by excessive interest gathers it for one who has pity on the poor.
