Solomon
Proverbs 25:28BSB·traditional attribution
Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who does not control his temper.
Matthew Henry Presbyterian
Here is, 1. The good character of a wise and virtuous man implied. He is one that has rule over his own spirit; he maintains the government of himself, and of his own appetites and passions, and does not suffer them to rebel against reason and conscience. He has the rule of his own thoughts, his desires, his inclinations, his resentments, and keeps them all in good order. 2.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Reformed
Such are exposed to the incursions of evil thoughts and successful temptations. Next: Proverbs Chapter 26
Geneva Bible Notes Reformed
He that [hath] no rule over his own spirit [is like] a city [that is] broken down, [and] without walls. (q) And so is in extreme danger.
