And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
All Commentaries on Luke 12:19 Go To Luke 12
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Much goods It is evident how far this poor man was mistaken, when he called these things goods, which with more reason ought to be esteemed evils. The only things that can rightly be called goods, are humility, modesty, and its other attendants. The opposite to these ought to be esteemed evils; and riches we ought to consider as indifferent. (St. Chrysostom)
