Matthew 25:26 BBE

²⁴  And he who had had the one talent came and said, Lord, I had knowledge that you are a hard man, getting in grain where you have not put seed, and making profits for which you have done no work:

²⁵  And I was in fear, and went away, and put your talent in the earth: here is what is yours.

²⁶  But his lord in answer said to him, You are a bad and unready servant; if you had knowledge that I get in grain where I did not put seed, and make profits for which I have done no work,

²⁷  Why, then, did you not put my money in the bank, and at my coming I would have got back what is mine with interest?

²⁸  Take away, then, his talent and give it to him who has the ten talents.
