Matthew 18:30

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

But he refused; then he went and threw him into prison until he would pay the debt.

See the chapter Copy

and say: Thus says the king: Put this fellow in prison, and feed him on reduced rations of bread and water until I come in peace.”

If you close your ear to the cry of the poor, you will cry out and not be heard.

Then his fellow slave fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.’

When his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their lord all that had taken place.
