16 And he spak a parable to them, sayin, “A particular rich manʼs grunʼ bure unco weel.
“And some fell on the gude grunʼ, and brocht forth frute — this a hunner, that saxty, and the ither thretty.
“That ye aʼ may be bairns oʼ yere Faither in Heeven; for he gars his sun to glint alike on the ill and on the gude; and sends oot his rain baith on the just and the unjust.
And he said to them aʼ, “Tak tent, and keep yersels frae being sellie; for a manʼs life disna bide in his haddin or his gear.”
“And he switherʼt within his sel, sayin, ‘What maun I do? for I hae nae housin, whaur I may pit aʼ my craps.’
“Though he left‐na his sel wantin testimonie — doin gude frae aboon, giean us rain and frutefuʼ seasons; fillin fuʼ oʼ joy yere hearts.”
