Rashi, on Prov 23:5

“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.”

“Should you blink your eyes at it The moment you blink your eyes to close them, that study will no longer be found with you. התעיף, like “and you shall fold” (Ex. 26:9), which Onkelos renders: ותעיף.”

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
