Luke 19:21

21 for I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man; you take up what you did not lay down, and reap what you did not sow.'

Luke 19:21 In-Context

19 And he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'
20 Then another came, saying, 'Lord, here is your pound, which I kept laid away in a napkin;
21 for I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man; you take up what you did not lay down, and reap what you did not sow.'
22 He said to him, 'I will condemn you out of your own mouth, you wicked servant! You knew that I was a severe man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow?
23 Why then did you not put my money into the bank, and at my coming I should have collected it with interest?'
