'Severe' in the Bible

And that slave who knew the will of his master and did not prepare or do according to his will {will be given a severe beating}.

And [after] he had spent everything, there was a severe famine throughout that country, and he began to be in need.

For I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man--you withdraw what you did not deposit, and you reap what you did not sow!'

He said to him, '{By your own words} I will judge you, wicked slave! You knew that I am a severe man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow.

who devour the houses of widows and pray lengthy [prayers] for the sake of appearance. These will receive more severe condemnation!"
