Luke 12:16-21
view
he told them a parable, saying, "The land of a rich man produced
plentifully, and he thought to himself, 'What shall I do, for I have nowhere to
store my crops?' And he said, 'I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build
larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many
years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.' But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul is required of you,
and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward
God."

Proverbs 24:30-34
view
assed by the field of a sluggard,
by the vineyard of a man lacking sense, and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns;
the ground was covered with nettles,
and its stone wall was broken down. Then I saw and considered it;
I looked and received instruction. A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.
(work, provision)
Proverbs 26:13-15

he sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road!
There is a lion in the streets!" As a door turns on its hinges,
so does a sluggard on his bed. The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.
