21 For I feared thee, because thou art a harsh man; thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.
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 saith to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked servant! thou knewest that I was a harsh man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow;

23 why then didst thou not put my money into a bank? Then I at my coming might have received it back 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 them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath the 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, He hath ten pounds, Lord.)

43 For the days will come upon thee, when thine enemies will cast up a mound about thee, and compass thee round, and shut 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 will level thee with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they will not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
