Matthew 25:25-27

New Century Version

²⁵ So I was afraid and went and hid your money in the ground. Here is your bag of gold.’ ²⁶ The master answered, ‘You are a wicked and lazy servant! You say you knew that I harvest things I did not plant and that I gather crops where I did not sow any seed. ²⁷ So you should have put my gold in the bank. Then, when I came home, I would have received my gold back with interest.’
