Matthew 24:48-51 CEV
(48) But suppose one of the servants thinks that the master won't return until late. (49) Suppose that evil servant starts beating the other servants and eats and drinks with people who are drunk. (50) If that happens, the master will surely come on a day and at a time when the servant least expects him. (51) That servant will then be punished and thrown out with the ones who only pretended to serve their master. There they will cry and grit their teeth in pain.

Matthew 24:48-51 BBE
(48) But if that evil servant says in his heart, My lord is a long time in coming; (49) And is cruel to the other servants, taking his pleasure with those who are overcome with wine; (50) The lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not looking for him, and in an hour of which he has no knowledge, (51) And will have him cut in two, and will give him a part in the fate of the false ones: there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

In that place [there] will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
