“thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest. ”
“You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.”
“Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received my money back with interest!”
“Thou oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the bankers: and at my coming I should have received my own with usury.”
“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?”

Then he who had received one talent, approaching, said: ‘Lord, I know that you are a hard man. You reap where you have not sown, and gather where you have not scattered.
And so, being afraid, I went out and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have what is yours.’
But his lord said to him in response: ‘You evil and lazy servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered.
Therefore, you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and then, at my arrival, at least I would have received what is mine with interest.
And so, take the talent away from him and give it to the one who has ten talents.
For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he shall have in abundance. But from him who has not, even what he seems to have, shall be taken away.
And cast that useless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
