Proverbs 23:4-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
    be wise enough to desist.(A)
5 When your eyes light upon it, it is gone,
    for suddenly it takes wings to itself,
    flying like an eagle toward heaven.

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.
