Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.

When you take even a quick look at riches, they are gone. They grow wings and fly away into the sky like an eagle.

When your eyes light on it, it is gone, for suddenly it sprouts wings, flying like an eagle toward heaven.

In the blink of an eye wealth disappears, for it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle.

When you set your eyes on it, it is gone. For wealth certainly makes itself wings Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens.

Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; They fly away like an eagle toward heaven.

Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings, Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven.

As soon as your eyes fly to it, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky.

Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for[ riches] certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

When you gaze upon riches, they are gone, for they surely make wings for themselves, and fly off into the sky like an eagle!

Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.

for wealth is not forever; not even a crown lasts for all time.

Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be arrogant or to set their hope on the uncertainty of wealth, but on God, who richly provides us with all things to enjoy.

For everything in the world— the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride in one’s possessions— is not from the Father, but is from the world.

“ Don’t store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.

Come now, you rich people, weep and wail over the miseries that are coming on you.Your wealth has rotted and your clothes are moth-eaten.

“ Absolute futility,” says the Teacher.“ Everything is futile.”

a messenger came to Job and reported,“ While the oxen were plowing and the donkeys grazing nearby,the Sabeans swooped down and took them away. They struck down the servants with the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”He was still speaking when another messenger came and reported,“ God’s fire fell from heaven. It burned the sheep and the servants and devoured them, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”That messenger was still speaking when yet another came and reported,“ The Chaldeans formed three bands, made a raid on the camels, and took them away. They struck down the servants with the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”

There is a sickening tragedy I have seen under the sun: wealth kept by its owner to his harm.That wealth was lost in a bad venture, so when he fathered a son, he was empty-handed.

Their father Jacob said to them,“ It’s me that you make childless. Joseph is gone, and Simeon is gone. Now you want to take Benjamin. Everything happens to me!”

Yes, a person goes about like a mere shadow. Indeed, they rush around in vain, gathering possessions without knowing who will get them.

This is what I mean, brothers and sisters: The time is limited, so from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none,those who weep as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they didn’t own anything,and those who use the world as though they did not make full use of it. For this world in its current form is passing away.

Turn my heart to your decrees and not to dishonest profit.Turn my eyes from looking at what is worthless; give me life in your ways.

But you have eyes and a heart for nothing except your own dishonest profit, shedding innocent blood and committing extortion and oppression.

“ Absolute futility,” says the Teacher.“ Absolute futility. Everything is futile.”

Why do you spend silver on what is not food, and your wages on what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and you will enjoy the choicest of foods.
