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.

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 rich man’s wealth is his strong city,

And as a high wall in his own imagination.

11The rich mans riches are his strong citie: and as an hie wall in his imagination.

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

like an unscalable wall in his own 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.

11Rich people think that their money makes them safe,

like high, strong walls around a city.

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