Proverbs 18:10

Proverbs 18:10–12

The LORD’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe. The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, like an unscalable wall in his own imagination. Before destruction the heart of man is proud, but before honor is humility.

Context note · editorial

God's name is pictured as a strong tower, next to a warning about wealth's imagined security. The contrast asks where a person places ultimate trust.
