Preach it, bro. Hard work and profit go hand in hand. "All hard work brings a profit but mere talk leads to poverty."-Proverbs 14:23
"The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied."-Proverbs 13:4 NIV
So the "mere talkers" whine about what other have and think their lives will improve if Big Brother socks it to 'em.
Wealth is never punished in the Bible.
Poverty, on the other hand, is divided in two categories: those who are poor due to circumstances beyond their control and those who are poor as the result of sin, laziness, or irresponsibility.
Any time in scripture we see a command to help the poor, it's always in reference to that first category, while the second category is always rebuked. In fact, the Bible even says in 2 Thess 3:10 that we are not to help them.
