Proverbs 18:11

Tree of Life Version

A rich person’s wealth is a strong city or like a high wall—in his imagination.

See the chapter Copy

The wealth of a rich man is a strong city. Poverty is the ruin of the poor.

Riches make no profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.

Before ruin a person’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.

A rich person is wise in his own eyes, but a discerning poor person sees through him.

For wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: wisdom preserves the life of the one who possesses it.

Thus says Adonai: “Let not the wise boast in his wisdom nor the mighty boast in his might nor the rich glory in his riches.

Surely their rock is not like our Rock, as even our enemies judge.
