Commentary on Proverbs 18:11 (Summary)

Proverbs 18:11 (ESV)

11 A rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and like a high wall in his imagination.

While God’s name provides true safety (see previous proverb), the rich imagine that there is safety in their wealth. However, this is a false belief, as Jesus shows in his story of the rich fool.
