21 For I feared thee because thou art a harsh man: thou takest up what thou hast not laid down, and thou reapest what thou hast not sowed.
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.'
22 He says to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked bondman: thou knewest that I am a harsh man, taking up what I have not laid down and reaping what I have not sowed.
"He said to him, 'Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I did not lay down, and reaping that which I did not sow.
23 And why didst thou not give my money to [the] bank; and I should have received it, at my coming, with interest?

26 For I say unto you, that to every one that has shall be given; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.
'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.

43 for days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall make a palisaded mound about thee, and shall close 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,
44 and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children in thee; and shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou knewest not the season of thy visitation.
