The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, And as a high wall in his own imagination.

The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it a wall too high to scale.

The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, And like a high wall in his own esteem.

The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, And like a high wall [of protection] in his own imagination and conceit.

The rich think of their wealth as a strong defense; they imagine it to be a high wall of safety.
