Proverbs 16:22
New International Reader's Version (NIRV)
22 Understanding is like a fountain of life to those who have it.
But foolish people are punished for the foolish things they do.
For centuries people sought a fountain of youth, a spring that promised eternal life and vitality. It was never found. But God's wisdom is a Fountain of Life that can make a person happy, healthy and alive forever. How? When we live by God's Word, He washes away the deadly effects of sin, and the hope of eternal life with Him gives us a joyful perspective on our present life. The fountain of youth was only a dream, but the Fountain of Life is reality. The choice is yours. You can be enlightened by God's wisdom, or you can be dragged down by the weight of your own foolishness.
