Commentary on Proverbs 25:28

Theological / Devotional

No rule. A city without walls is open to attack on all sides by any adversary (see Neh. 2:13); so a man who cannot retain control over his own emotions and desires is certain to succumb to temptations. Enticements to evil allure him from without; angry words and deeds break out from within.
