Proverbs 18:11

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

The wealth of the rich is their strong city; in their imagination it is like a high wall.

See the chapter Copy

The wealth of the rich is their fortress; the poverty of the poor is their ruin.

Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.

Before destruction one’s heart is haughty, but humility goes before honor.

The rich is wise in self-esteem, but an intelligent poor person sees through the pose.

For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to the one who possesses it.

Speak! Thus says the Lord: “Human corpses shall fall like dung upon the open field, like sheaves behind the reaper, and no one shall gather them.”

Indeed, their rock is not like our Rock; our enemies are fools.
