City

And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

<<A Song of degrees for Solomon.>> Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,

She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.

She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.

A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.

He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.

Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.

And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity.

There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:

Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.

I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?

The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
