28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
28 Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control.
28 A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.
28 A person without self-control is like a house with its doors and windows knocked out.
28 Whoever has no rule over his own spirit Is like a city broken down, without walls.
28 A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.

Commentary on Proverbs 25:28
(Read Proverbs 25:28)
The man who has no command over his anger, is easily robbed of peace. Let us give up ourselves to the Lord, and pray him to put his Spirit within us, and cause us to walk in his statutes.
