16Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.
17So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’
18Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.
19Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’
20But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’
21This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

34For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
— Luke 12:16-21,34
