Verse 27 is found in chapter 25 of Proverbs. Slander and gossip are compared with elements capable of producing destructive consequences. The section again values a timely word and necessary rebuke. The conclusion compares a person without self-control to a city broken down and without walls. Self-control is therefore presented as inner defense: without it, a person remains exposed to every impulse that controls him.
