for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou didst not sow.

Because I was in fear of you, for you are a hard man: you take up what you have not put down, and get in grain where you have not put seed.

Διοτι σε εφοβουμην, επειδη εισαι ανθρωπος αυστηρος· λαμβανεις ο, τι δεν κατεβαλες, και θεριζεις ο, τι δεν εσπειρας.

For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
