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