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 .
(Read Proverbs 23:4-5)
Be not of those that will be rich. The things of this world are not happiness and a portion for a soul; those that hold them ever so fast, cannot hold them always, cannot hold them long.
