Let him not think of saying, as that rich man of the Gospel did, after a plentiful harvest of fruits: My soul! thou hast much goods laid up for many years! take thy rest! eat! drink! make good cheer! And God said to that man: Thou fool! this night, do they require thy soul of thee! and whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
Basi asione kufikiria kusema, kama mtu tajiri wa Injili hivyo, baada ya mavuno mengi ya matunda: Moyo wangu! wewe huna vitu vyema vingi ulivyojiwekea akiba kwa miaka mingi! kuchukua mapumziko wako! kula! kunywa! kufanya wakapata moyo! Naye Mungu akamwambia mtu huyo: Wewe mjinga! usiku huu, kufanya wao wanahitaji roho yako kwako! na ambao watakuwa mambo hayo kuwa, ambao hukuufanyia zinazotolewa?
