But the one who had received one talent went out and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money in it.

Then the one who had received the one talent came and said, 'Sir, I knew that you were a hard man, harvesting where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed,

so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.'

Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten.
