Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich; restrain yourself! Riches disappear in the blink of an eye; wealth sprouts wings and flies off into the wild blue yonder.

Labour not to be rich: Cease from thine own wisdom.

Do not weary yourself to gain wealth, Cease from your consideration of it.

Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich; be wise enough to control yourself.

Weary not thyself to be rich; Cease from thine own wisdom.

Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness.

Do not overwork to be rich; Because of your own understanding, cease!

¶Do not weary yourself [with the overwhelming desire] to gain wealth; Cease from your own understanding of it. [Prov 28:20; 1 Tim 6:9, 10]

Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit.

Don’t compare yourself to the rich. Surrender your selfish ambition and evaluate them properly.
