The Book of Proverbs, Chapter 23, Verse 5

Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

King James Version

Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for [riches] certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

American Standard Version

Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? For [riches] certainly make themselves wings, Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven.

New English Translation

When you gaze upon riches, they are gone, for they surely make wings for themselves, and fly off into the sky like an eagle!

World English Bible

Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.

Eat thou not the bread of [him that hath] an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:

For as he thinketh in his heart, so [is] he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart [is] not with thee.

The morsel [which] thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.

Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:

For their redeemer [is] mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.

Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

Withhold not correction from the child: for [if] thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
