4 Labour not to make wealth, From thine own understanding cease, Dost thou cause thine eyes to fly upon it? Then it is not.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 23:4

Commentary on Proverbs 23:4-5

(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.
