Proverbs 23:5 | |
NASB: When you set your eyes on it, it is gone. For [wealth] certainly makes itself wings Like an eagle that flies [toward] the heavens. (NASB ©1995) GWT: Will you catch only a fleeting glimpse of wealth before it is gone? It makes wings for itself like an eagle flying into the sky. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. ASV: Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings, Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven. BBE: Are your eyes lifted up to it? it is gone: for wealth takes to itself wings, like an eagle in flight up to heaven. DBY: wilt thou set thine eyes upon it, it is gone; for indeed it maketh itself wings and it flieth away as an eagle towards the heavens. JPS: Wilt thou set thine eyes upon it? it is gone; for riches certainly make themselves wings, like an eagle that flieth toward heaven. WBS: Wilt thou set thy eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make to themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle towards heaven. WEB: Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky. YLT: For wealth maketh to itself wings, As an eagle it flieth to the heavens. | |
