> 20. Fool! says God. A man’s life is an uncertain thing at best and no-one has the assurance that he will live the years he would like.
> The really stupid thing was the rich man’s easy assurance that the
> future was in his control. **God said to him This night (first for
> emphasis) your soul is required of you. The verb is literally ‘they
> require’, a construction common among the rabbis to denote an action
> of God (SB), i.e. ‘God requires your soul’.** A man whose life hangs
> by a thread and who may be called upon at any time to give account of
> himself is a fool if he relies on material things.
