Proverbs 18:11 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. — Proverbs 18:11
After the heart has been lifted up with pride, a fall comes. But honour shall be the reward of humility.
Source Coverage: 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.
