Mishlei 23:4-5 - How Wealth Flies Away Like a Bird (Part 1)

(ד) אַל תִּיגַע לְהַעֲשִׁיר מִבִּינָתְךָ חֲדָל. (ה) [הֲתָעִיף] (התעוף) עֵינֶיךָ בּוֹ וְאֵינֶנּוּ כִּי עָשֹׂה יַעֲשֶׂה לּוֹ כְנָפַיִם כְּנֶשֶׁר [יָעוּף] (ועיף) הַשָּׁמָיִם:

Synopsis: This morning (11/7/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned through a couplet of pesukim which, on the surface, seem to discourage the pursuit of wealth, and maybe even the utilization of binah. Needless to say, this goes against a number of other pesukim in Mishlei. We developed two approaches today - one on our own, and one based on the Metzudas David - and we'll continue to develop our understanding tomorrow.
