down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain.
19) And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain
laid up for many years. Take life easy: eat, drink and be merry.”
20) “But God said to him. You fool! This very night
your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared
for yourself?

things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”

tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?

year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it.

down.”

stomach, and then out of the body.”

honor at the table, he told them this parable:
8) “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do
not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have
been invited.

and say to you. Give this person your seat. Then humiliated, you will have to
take the least important place.
10) But when you are invited, take the lowest place,
so that when your host comes, he will say to you, Friend, move up to a better
place. Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests.

one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after
the lost sheep until he finds it?
5) And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his
shoulders.
6) And goes home. Then he calls his friends and
neighbors together and says. Rejoice with me: I have found my lost sheep.

rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous
persons who do not need to repent.

lamb he had bought. He raised it, and it grew up with him and his children. It
shared his food, drank from his cup and even slept in his arms. It was like a
daughter to him.
4) “Now a traveler came to the rich man, but the rich
man refrained from taking one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare a meal for
the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the ewe lamb that belonged
to the poor man and prepared it for the one who had come to him.”

Nathan. “As surely as the Lord lives, the man who did this must die!
6) He must pay for that lamb four times over, because
he did such a thing and had no pity.”

oil, by which both gods and humans are honored, to hold sway over the trees?

our king.

fruit, so good and sweet, to hold sway over the trees?
12)”Then the trees said to the vine. Come and be our
King.

which cheers both gods and humans, to hold sway over the trees?
14) “Finally all the trees said to the thornbush. Come
and be our king.

want to anoint me King over you, come and take refuge in my shade: but if not,
then let fire come out of the thornbush and consume the cedars of Lebanon!
