Then the king said to the servant, ‘I will condemn you by your own words, you evil servant. You knew that I am a hard man, taking money that I didn’t earn and gathering food that I didn’t plant.
David had said to the Amalekite, “You are responsible for your own death. You confessed by saying, ‘I have killed the Lord’s appointed king.’ ”
The words you have said will be used to judge you. Some of your words will prove you right, but some of your words will prove you guilty.”
The king said, ‘Friend, how were you allowed to come in here? You are not dressed for a wedding.’ But the man said nothing.
I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You even take money that you didn’t earn and gather food that you didn’t plant.’
Why then didn’t you put my money in the bank? Then when I came back, my money would have earned some interest.’
We know that the law’s commands are for those who have the law. This stops all excuses and brings the whole world under God’s judgment,
