for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you did not lay down, and reap that which you did not sow.'

23 And why then did you not put my money into the bank, that, when I came, I could have collected it with interest?
Then why did you not deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?'
24 And he said to those who stood by: Take from him the pound, and give it to him that has ten pounds.
He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.'
25 And they said to him: Lord, he has ten pounds.
"They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas.'

'For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away.
27 But those who are my enemies, who were not willing that I should rule over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

43 For the days will come upon thee, when thy enemies will throw up a mound about thee, and inclose thee around, and keep thee in on every side,
For the days will come on you, when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,
