The Bible

Luke 12:20

But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you; and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

In this passage, God calls a man foolish because his soul is demanded that very night, and asks who will get everything he stored up. It's a warning about hoarding: possessions can't follow you, and all that planning may end up benefiting someone else.
