Proverbs 18:11

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

The rich one's wealth his strong city, and as a wall lifted up in his imagination.

See the chapter Copy

The wealth of the rich his strong city: the destruction of the poor their poverty.

Wealth will not profit in the day of wrath, and justice will deliver from death.

Before a breaking a man's heart will be lifted up, and before honor, humility.

The rich man is wise in his eyes, and the poor one understanding shall search him out.

For in the shadow, wisdom; in the shadow, silver: and the excellence of knowledge is wisdom shall preserve alive those possessing it

Speak: Thus says Jehovah, The carcasses of men fell as dung upon the face of the field, as the handful after the reaper, and none gathering.

For their rock not as our Rock, And our enemies judging.
