Matthew 25:24-27

1. 24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

2. 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

3. 26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

4. 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
