Matthew 25:25-27

International Standard Version

²⁵ Since I was afraid, I went off and hid your talent in the ground. Here, take what’s yours!’

²⁶ “His master answered him, ‘You evil and lazy servant! So you knew that I harvested where I haven’t planted and gathered where I haven’t scattered any seed? ²⁷ Then you should’ve invested my money with the bankers. When I returned, I would’ve received my money back with interest.’
