"and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own. "
— Matthew 25:25, American Standard Version
“And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.”
“I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have what is yours.'”
“so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.’”
“And being afraid, I went and hid thy talent in the earth. Behold here thou hast that which is thine.”
“And I was in fear, and went away, and put your talent in the earth: here is what is yours.”
“And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.”
And he also that received the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other two talents.
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter;
and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own.
But his lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter;
thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest.
Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents.
