Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 10:15

15. The rich mans wealth is his strong city : the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

Either 1. really, as money is called a defence, Eccl. 7. 12. because it oft-times redeems a man from Dangers and Calamities. Or 2. in his own conceit, as it is explained, and fully expressed, Ch. 18. 11. It makes him secure and confident.

It is the cause of their ruine. Or, the contrition, or the terrour, or consternation, as others, both ancient and modern, render it. Their Poverty takes away their Spirit and Courage, and fills them with Fear and Despair.
