11 The wealth of the rich 'is' the city of his strength, And as a wall set on high in his own imagination.

Commentary on Proverbs 18:10-11
(Read Proverbs 18:10-11)
The Divine power, made known in and through our Lord Jesus Christ, forms a strong tower for the believer, who relies on the Lord. How deceitful the defence of the rich man, who has his portion and treasure in this world! It is a strong city and a high wall only in his own conceit; for it will fail when most in need. They will be exposed to the just wrath of that Judge whom they despised as a Saviour.
