King James Version
"Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?"
— Luke 19:23, King James Version
“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 thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
