Jesus continues telling his parable.

See how you translated this in Luke 19:13.

a severe man

"a stern man" or "a man who expects a lot from his servants" or "a hard man" (UDB)

you take up that which you did not lay down

This can be translated as "you take out what you did not put in" or "you take what is not yours." It was a proverb describing a greedy person. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/proverb)

reap that which you did not sow

"reap what you did not plant." This is a metaphor. The servant was comparing his master to a farmer who takes food that someone else planted. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
