UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ה֣וֹן עָ֭שִׁיר קִרְיַ֣ת עֻזּ֑⁠וֹ

wealth rich city strong,his

See how you translated the same clause in 10:15.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וּ⁠כְ⁠חוֹמָ֥ה נִ֝שְׂגָּבָ֗ה

and,like,wall high

Solomon is saying that the wealth of a rich one is like a wall set on high because the rich one thinks that his wealth will protect him from enemies, as a high wall protects. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “and it will protect him like a wall set on high”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְּ⁠מַשְׂכִּיתֽ⁠וֹ

in/on/at/with,imagination,his

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of imagination, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “according to what he imagines”
