Proverbs 23:3-5
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

3 Do not desire his delicacies,
    for they are deceptive food.
4 Do not toil to acquire wealth;
    be wise enough to desist.
5 When your eyes light upon it, it is gone;
    for suddenly it takes to itself wings,
    flying like an eagle toward heaven.
