Godly fathers rejoice as their children grow in wisdom. For those who possess wisdom have a true perspective and can bear responsibilities happily and fruitfully in all areas of life. By such wisdom we are blessed, and we serve for the blessing of others. However, a man who pursues prostitutes has his focus turned away from godly responsibility and divine resources provided by God’s grace. His sights are fixed only on immediate, selfish gratification, costing himself and those around him dearly. Such narrow focus wastes the wealth of both a man and his father, to the grief of both his earthly father and heavenly Father.
3 He who loves wisdom makes his father glad, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
