Then he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee to be a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter seed;

and I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth. See! thou hast thine own.

Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who hath the ten talents.

and there came down from heaven upon men a great storm of hail, every stone weighing about a talent; and men blasphemed God on account of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
