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/translate/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/translate/figs-metaphor)
