Proverbs 13:14

The law of the wise [is] a fountain of life
Or "doctrine" F14; the doctrine of those who are taught by the word, and are wise unto salvation; the words or doctrines of the wise, which are given forth by one Shepherd; the instructions of such who are like Scribes, well instructed themselves unto the kingdom of heaven: these are as a fountain of living water; which are the means of quickening dead sinners, and of reviving and refreshing the souls of weary saints; and bring life and immortality to light, and point and lead to eternal life: and so direct souls to depart from the snares of death;
the snares of sin, Satan, and the world, to shun and avoid them; with which men being entangled, are brought to destruction and death.
