“Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control” (25:28). The Proverbs tell us that the undisciplined person never learns life’s lessons but is a “fool who repeats their folly” (26:11). This person gives no effort to wisdom (“too lazy,” 26:15-16), or he may deceive others and self by lies that cover over sin like “silver dross on earthenware” (26:23). These shortcuts lead to a life in ruins.

God calls us to reject the temptation to be “wise in our own eyes” (26:12, Gen 3) and to humbly reach out for the help He offers. By the Holy Spirit’s power, the fruit of our lives is love, joy, peace, and self-control (Gal 5:23).
