'City' in the Bible

She calls out at the head of the noisy streets [where large crowds gather];At the entrance of the city gates she speaks her words:

The rich man’s wealth is his fortress;The ruin of the poor is their poverty.

When it goes well for the righteous, the city rejoices,And when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.

By the blessing [of the influence] of the upright the city is exalted,But by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.

He who is slow to anger is better and more honorable than the mighty [soldier],And he who rules and controls his own spirit, than he who captures a city.

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

A brother offended is harder to win over than a fortified city,And contentions [separating families] are like the bars of a castle.

A wise man scales the city [walls] of the mightyAnd brings down the stronghold in which they trust.

Do not rob the poor because he is poor [and defenseless],Nor crush the afflicted [by legal proceedings] at the gate [where the city court is held],

Like a city that is broken down and without walls [leaving it unprotected]Is a man who has no self-control over his spirit [and sets himself up for trouble].

Scoffers set a city afire [by stirring up trouble],But wise men turn away anger [and restore order with their good judgment].

Give her of the product of her hands,And let her own works praise her in the gates [of the city].
