In Proverbs 13 we see that a wise son does indeed live righteously.
So many things in this world try to keep us away from following the Lord but those who are wise will steer clear of all the things that tug at us that are not good for us.
This is a good proverb to read and digest. I love verse 14 'the law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death'.
We have a fountain in our local park, it continuously recycles the water using a kind of loop - and this fountain of life in verse 14 is continuous - we need to continually surround ourselves with good counsel. Godly wisdom and good advice from others help steer us in the right direction, leading us away from behaviours that could be destructive.
He that walks with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed (vs 20).
