'Earned' in the Bible

In vain you get up early and stay up late,working hard to have enough food—yes, He gives sleep to the one He loves.

the man who had received five talents went, put them to work, and earned five more.

In the same way the man with two earned two more.

The man who had received five talents approached, presented five more talents, and said, ‘Master, you gave me five talents. Look, I’ve earned five more talents.’

“Then the man with two talents also approached. He said, ‘Master, you gave me two talents. Look, I’ve earned two more talents.’

The first came forward and said, ‘Master, your mina has earned 10 more minas.’
