Proverbs 23:5

Wilt thou set thine eyes More literally and forcibly: Wilt thou cause thine eyes to fly (or, shall thine eyes fly) upon it (with eager glance, as a bird swoops upon its prey, Isaiah 11:14)? it is gone! It eludes even the swiftness of thy glance, and itself spreads its wings and flies away.

For riches(supplied from Proverbs 23:4) certainly make themselves wings, Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven.

Comp. for the sentiment πλούτου ἀδηλότης, 1 Timothy 6:17.
