21 I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’

21 for I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man. You take what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’

21 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.

21 I was afraid because you are a hard man to deal with, taking what isn’t yours and harvesting crops you didn’t plant.’

21 For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’

21 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.’

21 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.

21 For I feared thee because thou art a harsh man: thou takest up what thou hast not laid down, and thou reapest what thou hast not sowed.

21 I was afraid of you. You’re a tough person to get along with. You take what isn’t yours and harvest grain you haven’t planted.’ 

21 because I was afraid of you, for you’re a tough man: you collect what you didn’t deposit and reap what you didn’t sow.’

21 for I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man; you take what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’

21 For I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man—you withdraw what you did not deposit, and you reap what you did not sow!’

21 I was afraid of you. You are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in. You harvest what you did not plant.’
