23 All hard work brings a profit,

but mere talk leads only to poverty.

23 In all toil there is profit,

but mere talk tends only to poverty.

23 In all labour there is profit:

But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

23 Work brings profit,

but mere talk leads to poverty!

23 In all labor there is profit,

But idle chatter leads only to poverty.

23 Those who work hard make a profit,

but those who only talk will be poor.

23 In all labor there is profit;

But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

23 In all labour there is profit; but the talk of the lips tendeth only to want.

23 In hard work there is always something gained, 

but idle talk leads only to poverty. 

23 There is profit in all hard work,

but endless talk leads only to poverty.

23 In all toil there is profit,

but mere talk leads only to poverty.

23 In all toil, there is profit,

but the talk of lips leads only to poverty.

23 All hard work pays off.

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