Proverbs 23:4

Living With Your Neighbor

³ Do not desire his delicacies,
For it is deceptive food.
⁴ Do not weary yourself to gain wealth,
Cease from your consideration of it.
⁵ When you set your eyes on it, it is gone.
For wealth certainly makes itself wings
Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens.
