He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.Proverbs 25:28 · King James Version
Proverbs 25:28 in context
26A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
27It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
28He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

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.
— Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
