The law of the wise (is) a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. "The law of the wise" is the law God, which the wise follow, and which they put forth from their "mouth" as "a well of life," present and eternal to others (Proverbs 10:11; Psalms 36:9). On "the snares of death," cf. Psalms 18:5.
