New International Version (NIV)

11The wealth of the rich is their fortified city;

they imagine it a wall too high to scale.

11A rich person’s wealth is his strong city,

And like a high wall in his own imagination.

11A rich man’s wealth is his strong city,

And like a high wall in his own imagination.

11The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,

And like a high wall [of protection] in his own imagination and conceit.

11A rich man’s wealth is his fortified city;

it is like a high wall in his imagination.

11The wealth of rich people is like a city that makes them feel safe.

They think of it as a city with walls that can’t be climbed.
