But mere talk leads only to poverty.

But mere talk leads only to poverty.

23There is profit in all labor,

but mere talk leads only to poverty.

23In all labor there is profit;

But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

23In all labour there is abundance: but the talke of the lippes bringeth onely want.

23In all hard work there is profit,

but the talk of the lips leads only to poverty.

23All hard work pays off.

But if all you do is talk, you will be poor.

23If you work hard,

something good will come.

But if you only talk about it,

you will become poor.

23In all labor there is advantage, || And a thing of the lips [is] only to want.
