bCease from your 1consideration of it.

For awealth certainly makes itself wings
Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Do not tire in order to become rich;
out of your understanding, may you desist.
Your eyes will alight on it, but there is nothing to it,
for suddenly it will make for itself wings
like an eagle and it will be exhausted in the heavens.

Labour not to be rich:
Cease from thine own wisdom.
Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?
For riches certainly make themselves wings;
They fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
