“Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.”
A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth—a statement of the contrast between pursuit of wisdom and pursuit of vice, establishing the different family and economic consequences. The theological significance involves the principle of the family consequences of personal virtue or vice.
