Albert Barnes Commentary Proverbs 23:4

"Weary not thyself to be rich; Cease from thine own wisdom." — Proverbs 23:4 (ASV)

Cease from thine own wisdom - that is, “Cease from the use of what is in itself most excellent, if it only serves to seek after wealth, and so serves evil.” There is no special contrast between “thine own wisdom” and that given from above, though it is of course implied that in ceasing from his own prudence the man is on the way to attain a higher wisdom.
