Proverbs 23:5 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Set thine eyes — Look upon it with earnestness and desire. Is not — Which has no solid and settled being. Eagle — Swiftly, strongly, and irrecoverably.

Proverbs 23:5

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