LUKE 19:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.”
I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow — afraid of you because you are a hard man: the fear-based rationalization. You take out what you did not put in: the accusation of the servant who understands the master's character as exploitative. The fear of the master's character produces the inaction that brings judgment.
