Transience Of Riches 23:4-5

Transience Of Riches
Proverbs 23:4-5

4
Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
do not trust your own cleverness.
5
Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,
for they will surely sprout wings
and fly off to the sky like an eagle.

PCdc Commentary

How easy it is for riches to “fly off to the sky like an eagle,”
The classic image of a dollar bill with wings flying away!
