Lois, Andre. This is a very practical chapter about hard work and labour. I believe the correct meaning to verse 3 is this; The wisest man that ever lived explains to us that the only way one can achieve a "dream" or a desire in life is through a "multitude" or much hard work (business) and not through just talking too much (verse 2), "...therefore let thy words be few". In contrast, the foolish man is known for not working hard, talking too much, and not getting too far. Basically "all talk, no action". Hope this helps. MBK
