"Why then gave not you my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with usury? "

“Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?”
“then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have required it with interest? ”
“Then why didn't you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?'”
“Why then didn’t you put my money in the bank, so that when I returned I could have collected it with interest?’”
“And why then didst thou not give my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have exacted it with usury?”
“Why then did you not put my money in a bank, so that when I came I would get it back with interest?”
“Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?”
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is your pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
For I feared you, because you are an austere man: you take up that you layed not down, and reap that you did not sow.
And he says to him, Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
Why then gave not you my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with usury?
And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that has ten pounds.
(And they said to him, Lord, he has ten pounds.)
For I say to you, That to every one which has shall be given; and from him that has not, even that he has shall be taken away from him.
