So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

Study Note
The parable's moral — 'so is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God' — formulates the contrast between two fundamentally different orientations toward wealth. The phrase 'rich toward God' (eis theon ploutein) is not defined further in the verse, requiring interpretation from the broader context: it likely includes generosity to the poor (verse 33), dependence on God's provision rather than stored goods (verses 22-31), and the kind of giving that creates 'treasure in the heavens that does not fail' (verse 33). The construction contrasts 'self-enrichment' (heauto) with God-directed wealth, presenting the two as mutually exclusive orientations rather than complementary strategies. The verse grounds Jesus's economic ethics not in asceticism but in a theology of divine ownership: the fool is not someone who saves but someone who fails to recognize that life, time, and goods are ultimately God's to require.
