Proverbs 23:4-5
The Message

7

4-5 Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich;
    restrain yourself!
Riches disappear in the blink of an eye;
    wealth sprouts wings
    and flies off into the wild blue yonder.

Saying 8

4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
    do not trust your own cleverness.

    and fly off to the sky like an eagle.(B)
