Proverbs 23:5

When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.
World English Bible (WEB)
Wilt thou set{H5774}{(H8686)}{(H8675)}{H5774}{(H8799)} thine eyes{H5869} upon that which is not? for riches certainly{H6213}{(H8800)} make{H6213}{(H8799)} themselves wings{H3671}; they fly away{H5774}{(H8799)}{(H8675)}{H5774}{(H8687)} as an eagle{H5404} toward heaven{H8064}.
Strong's King James
Will your eyes fly upon it and it's not? Yes, certainly making itself wings like an eagle flying the skies.
