24. And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter;
25. and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own.
26. But 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 did not scatter;
27. thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest.
28. Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents.
