5 Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; They fly away like an eagle toward heaven.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 23:5

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.
