Albert Barnes Commentary Luke 12:20

"But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?" — Luke 12:20 (ASV)

You fool. If there is any supreme folly, it is this. As if riches could prolong life, or avert for a moment the approach of pain and death.

This night. What a terrible sentence to a man who, as he thought, was just ready to live and enjoy himself! In a single moment all his hopes were shattered, and his soul summoned to the bar of his long-forgotten God. So, many are surprised just as suddenly and just as unprepared. They are snatched from their pleasures and hurried to a world where there is no pleasure, and where all their wealth cannot purchase one moment's ease from the gnawings of the worm that never dies.

Shall be required of you. You will be required to die, to go to God, and to give your account.

Then whose. Whose they may be is of little consequence to the man who lost his soul to gain them; but they are often left to heirs who dissipate them much more quickly than the father acquired them, and thus they secure their ruin as well as his own. Psalms 39:6; Ecclesiastes 2:18–19.

"your soul" or, "do they require your soul."
