15 The wealth of the rich is their fortified city,

but poverty is the ruin of the poor.

15 A rich man’s wealth is his strong city;

the poverty of the poor is their ruin.

15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city:

The destruction of the poor is their poverty.

15 The wealth of the rich is their fortress;

the poverty of the poor is their destruction.

15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city;

The destruction of the poor is their poverty.

15 Having lots of money protects the rich,

but having no money destroys the poor.

15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city:

The destruction of the poor is their poverty.

15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city; the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

15 The rich person’s wealth is ⸤his⸥ strong city. 

Poverty ruins the poor. 

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

the poverty of the poor is their destruction.

15 The wealth of the rich is their fortress;

the poverty of the poor is their ruin.

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

But having nothing destroys those who are poor.

15 The rich man’s wealth is his fortress,

The ruin of the poor is their poverty.
