Luke 19:22

And he said unto him, Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was a severe man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow:
Read Chapter 19

Clement Of Alexandria

AD 215
But to him who had hid the money, entrusted to him to be given out at interest, and had given it back as he had received it, without increase, He said, "Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou oughtest to have given my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received mine own. "Wherefore the useless servant "shall be cast into outer darkness."

Tertullian of Carthage

AD 220
Else, if it is the Creator whom He has here delineated as the "austere man "who "takes up what he laid not down, and reaps what he did not sow"

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
