Connecting Statement:
Jesus quotes how God responds to the rich man, as he finishes telling his parable.
tonight your soul is required of you
The "soul" refers to the life of a person. AT: "you will die tonight" or "I will take your life from you tonight" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-euphemism and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
the things you have prepared, whose will they be?
"who will own what you have stored up?" or "who will have what you prepared?" God uses a question to make the man realize that he would no longer possess those things. AT: "the things that you have prepared will belong to someone else!" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)

"saves up valuable things"
