Proverbs 29:3

Proverbs chapter 29 verse 3 from the New International Version (NIV) states the following:

A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father,
but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.

Whatever you are seeking after, it is good to seek wisdom. Without wisdom, no matter how rich you are, you will not get true blessings because you may spend and squander your money on harlots and prostitutes. Instead of being closer to your wife and family, you see your marriage breaking up and this is bad success. Money will buy you happiness but not true happiness if you do not have wisdom. Family relationships are far more important than having a short fling with a company of harlots. So no matter what, go for wisdom to direct your paths to successful living and prosperity.
