Proverbs 23:4-5
International Standard Version
4 Don’t exhaust yourself acquiring wealth;
be smart enough to stop.
5 When you fix your gaze on it, it’s gone,
for it sprouts wings for itself
and flies to the sky like an eagle.

Proverbs 23:4-5
Lexham English Bible
4 Do not tire in order to become rich;
out of your understanding, may you desist.
5 Your eyes will alight[a] on it, but there is nothing to it,
for suddenly it will make for itself wings
like an eagle and it will be exhausted in the heavens.
