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.
Proverbs 23:4-5
Revised Standard Version
4 Do not toil to acquire wealth;
be wise enough to desist.
5 When your eyes light upon it, it is gone;
for suddenly it takes to itself wings,
flying like an eagle toward heaven.
