Proverbs 18:11

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

the rich think their money is a wall of protection.

See the chapter Copy

Great wealth can be a fortress, but poverty is no protection at all.

When God is angry, money won't help you. Obeying God is the only way to be saved from death.

Pride leads to destruction; humility leads to honour.

The rich think highly of themselves, but anyone poor and sensible sees right through them.

Wisdom will protect you just like money; knowledge with good sense will lead you to life.

“The LORD has told us the ground will be covered with dead bodies, like stalks of ungathered grain or like manure.”

Even our enemies know that only our God is a Mighty Rock.
