Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.

But beyond these, my son, be warned: there is no end to the making of many books, and much study wearies the body.

But, my child, let me give you some further advice: Be careful, for writing books is endless, and much study wears you out.

My son, be careful about anything beyond these things. For the writing of books is endless, and too much study is wearisome.

And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
