FOUR BATTLES WITH SELF CONTROL IN PROVERBS:

Uncontrolled lust. (Proverbs 6:26: “For the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread, and the adulteress preys upon your very life”).

Uncontrolled spending (Proverbs 21:20: “In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has”).

Uncontrolled drinking - (Proverbs 23:29-30: “Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes? Those who linger over wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed wine”).

Uncontrolled anger. (Proverbs 29:11 says, “A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control”).
