“Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.”
Proverbs 23:4 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 23:4
The prohibition against laboring to be rich warns against making wealth life's primary goal. Cease from one's own wisdom means recognizing the futility of self-dependent striving for security. This doesn't condemn honest work but idolatrous pursuit of riches that displaces trust in God's provision.
