Verse 19
The rich man’s folly lay in what he failed to consider, not in the plans that he made. His words to himself indicate that he thought his life consisted in the abundance of his possessions alone, but there was more to life than he realized, namely, life beyond the grave. The man used a common form of address in speaking to himself (cf. Psalms 41:6; Psalms 41:12; Psalms 42:5). "Soul" or "self" translates the Greek psyche that frequently represents the whole person, as it does here (e.g., James 1:21; James 5:20).
