H4623 H4623
restraint, self-control; governance over one's spirit
This word appears only in Proverbs 25:28, comparing a person without self-control to 'a city broken down, without walls.' The noun denotes the capacity to restrain or govern one's impulses, particularly one's spirit or temper. Just as walls protect a city from invasion, self-control protects a person from destructive passions. The absence of this restraint leaves one defenseless and vulnerable.

1. sense 1 — English 'restraint' and Spanish 'dominio' (mastery/control) capture the governing function. The Proverbs image likens internal discipline to civic fortification: without walls, a city falls to any invader; without self-governance, a person falls to every impulse (Prov 25:28). 1×
