Berean Standard Bible

A rich man’s wealth is his fortified city; it is like a high wall in his imagination.

Context

9Whoever is slothful in his work is brother to him who destroys. 10The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it * and are safe. 11A rich man’s wealth is his fortified city; it is like a high wall in his imagination. 12Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor. 13He who answers a matter before he hears it— this is folly and disgrace to him.
