Proverbs 23:4-5
Legacy Standard Bible

4 (A)Do not weary yourself to gain wealth,
(B)Because of your understanding, cease!
5 Do you make your eyes fly up to see it? But it is not there!
Because (C)it certainly makes itself wings
Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens.

4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
    be wise enough to desist.(A)

    flying like an eagle toward heaven.
