Exegesis
The comparative expression uses the preposition mem in miqiryat-oz {מִקִּרְיַת־עֹ֑ז | mi-qir-yat-ʿōz} ‘than a strong city’, where qiryat {קִרְיַת־ | qir-yat} ‘city’ is in construct with oz {עֹז | ʿōz} ‘strength’.
In context — Proverbs 18:19
A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city; and disputes are like the bars of a fortress .
