Prov 23:5 · Douay-Rheims
“Lift not up thy eyes to riches which thou canst not have: because they shall make themselves wings like those of an eagle, and shall fly towards heaven.”
On this verse:
“Riches. Septuagint, “to him, the rich man, he no where appears. He has prepared,” &c. (Haydock) — Like. Hebrew, “as the eagle, it will fly,” &c. (Haydock) — We must therefore fix our hearts on more durable goods.”
