Luke 19:23

The Parable of the Ten Minas

22His master replied, ‘You wicked servant, I will judge you by your own words. So you knew that I am a harsh man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?23Why then did you not deposit my money in the bank, and upon my return I could have collected it with interest?’
