25. And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the earth: lo, there you have what is yours.
26. His lord answered and said unto him, You wicked and slothful servant, you knew that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not spread:
27. You ought therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received my own with interest.
