Contemporary English Version
11 the rich think their money
is a wall of protection.

Proverbs 18:11-13
New International Version
11 The wealth of the rich is their fortified city;(A)
they imagine it a wall too high to scale.

but humility comes before honor.(B)
13 To answer before listening—
that is folly and shame.(C)
