Proverbs 23:4-5
World English Bible

4 Don’t weary yourself to be rich.
    In your wisdom, show restraint.
5 Why do you set your eyes on that which is not?
    For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.

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.
