# a demanding person
"a stern man" or "a man who expects a lot from his servants"
# You take up what you did not put in
This was probably a proverb. A person who takes out of storage or out of a bank things that he did not put in is a metaphor for someone who benefits from other people's hard work. Alternate translation: "You take out what you did not put in" or "You are like a person who takes out what other people put in" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# you reap what you did not sow
This was probably a proverb. A person who harvests food that someone else has planted is a metaphor for someone who benefits from other people's hard work. Alternate translation: "you are like a person who reaps the fruit of what other people sowed" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
