25:28Like a city that is broken down and without a wall,
so is a person who cannot control his temper.60
Footnotes
- 60 Heb “whose spirit lacks restraint” ( similar). A person whose spirit (רוּחַ, ruakh) “lacks restraint” is one who is given to outbursts of passion, who lacks self-control (cf. , , , ). This person has no natural defenses but reveals his true nature all the time. The proverb is stating that without self-control a person is vulnerable, like a city without defenses.
