Context — Saying 8
3Do not crave his delicacies, for that food is deceptive.
4Do not wear yourself out to get rich; be wise enough to restrain yourself.
5When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky.
6Do not eat the bread of a stingy man, and do not crave his delicacies; 7for he is keeping track, inwardly counting the cost. “Eat and drink,” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.Cross References

Proverbs 23:5 Summary
[This verse is saying that wealth can disappear quickly, like an eagle flying away, and we should not trust in it, but instead, trust in God's provision and care for us, as we see in Psalm 23:1-4 and Matthew 6:25-34. By focusing on what truly lasts, we can avoid the trap of desiring wealth above all else and instead, cultivate a heart of gratitude and contentment.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for wealth to 'make wings for itself and fly like an eagle to the sky'?
This phrase is a metaphor that illustrates how quickly wealth can disappear, much like an eagle soaring into the sky, as seen in Proverbs 23:5, and it reminds us to trust in God's provision, not earthly riches, as taught in Proverbs 3:5-6 and Matthew 6:19-20.
Is it wrong to want to be wealthy?
While it's not wrong to have some wealth, Proverbs 23:5 warns us about the fleeting nature of wealth and the dangers of prioritizing it above our relationship with God, as also cautioned in 1 Timothy 6:10 and Matthew 6:24.
How can I avoid the trap of desiring wealth above all else?
By focusing on what truly lasts, such as our faith, family, and friends, and by cultivating a heart of gratitude and contentment, as encouraged in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 and Philippians 4:11-12.
What does this verse teach us about the nature of wealth?
This verse teaches us that wealth is transient and can quickly disappear, which is why we should not put our trust in it, but instead, trust in God's sovereignty and provision, as seen in Psalm 37:3-7 and Jeremiah 9:23-24.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways in which I have seen wealth 'fly away' in my own life or in the lives of others, and what can I learn from those experiences?
- In what ways am I prioritizing wealth or material possessions above my relationship with God, and how can I adjust my priorities to reflect a greater emphasis on my faith?
- How can I cultivate a sense of contentment and gratitude, even in the midst of financial uncertainty or struggle, and what Bible verses can I turn to for encouragement?
- What are some practical steps I can take to 'restrain myself' from the pursuit of wealth, as warned against in Proverbs 23:4, and instead, focus on what truly matters in life?
Gill's Exposition on Proverbs 23:5
Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?.... The Vulgate Latin version is, "do not lift up thine eyes to riches which thou canst not have;'' riches no doubt are intended, and which may be
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Proverbs 23:5
Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Proverbs 23:5
Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that, i.e. look upon it with earnestness and greedy desire, employing the eyes of thy mind and body about it. Which is not; which hath no solid and settled being; which is ours to have, but not to hold; which is always upon the wing, and ofttimes gone in the twinkling of an eye, so that the owner is frequently at a loss, and cannot tell whether he hath his estate, or whether he hath lost it. They fly away as an eagle, swiftly, strongly, and irrevocably. We quickly lose the sight and possession of them. Their flying away from us is elegantly opposed to our eyes being set, or, as it is in the Hebrew, flying upon them, in the beginning of the verse.
Trapp's Commentary on Proverbs 23:5
Proverbs 23:5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for [riches] certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.Ver. 5. Wilt thou set thine eyes, &c.] Heb., Wilt thou cause thine eyes to flee after? &c. Wilt thou flee a fool’ s pitch, and go hawking after that which cannot be had? or, if had, will not pay for the pains - countervail the cost? Wilt thou cast a leering look after such vanities? Upon that which is not.] That hath no solid subsistence, though the foolish world call it substance. "The fashion of this world passeth away." The Greek word there used, ï÷çìá, intimateth that there is nothing of any firmness or solid consistence in the creature. Heaven only hath a foundation. Earth hath none, but is "hanged upon nothing," as Job speaketh. "Ye rejoice in a thing of nought," saith the prophet to them that "drank wine in bowls," &c. For riches certainly make themselves wings.] As the heathens feigned of their god Pluto.
Under these wings let the master hide himself, as Isaiah 28:15; yet with those wings will they fly away, without once taking leave, leaving nothing but the print of talons in his heart to torment him. Riches, saith one, were never true to those that trusted them. To fly from us they make themselves great eagles’ wings; to fly to us, or after us, Ne passerinas quidem, not so much as old sparrows’ wings. Temporals, saith another, are as transitory as a hasty headlong torrent - a shadow, a ship, a bird, an arrow, a post that passeth by; or if you can name anything of swifter wing or sooner gone. Augustine. Mr Bolton.
Ellicott's Commentary on Proverbs 23:5
(5) They fly away.—Rather, As an eagle that flieth toward heaven, far beyond thy reach.
Cambridge Bible on Proverbs 23:5
5. Wilt thou set thine eyes] More literally and forcibly: Wilt thou cause thine eyes to fly (or, shall thine eyes fly) upon it (with eager glance, as a bird swoops upon its prey, Isaiah 11:14)? it is gone! It eludes even the swiftness of thy glance, and itself spreads its wings and flies away. For riches (supplied from Proverbs 23:4) certainly make themselves wings, Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven. Comp. for the sentiment πλούτουἀδηλότης, 1 Timothy 6:17.
Barnes' Notes on Proverbs 23:5
Set thine eyes - literally, as in the margin, i. e., “gaze eagerly upon;” and then we get an emphatic parallelism with the words that follow, “they fly away as an eagle toward heaven;” “certainly

5. That which is not — This assigns a reason for the preceding admonition. Why pursue so eagerly that which is so uncertain and evanescent?
