4 Don’t weary yourself to be rich. In your wisdom, show restraint. Do not toil to acquire wealth; be discerning enough to desist. Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness.
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. When your eyes light on it, it is gone, for suddenly it sprouts wings, flying like an eagle toward heaven. 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.
