Proverbs 4:10-13 New International Version (NIV)
10 Listen, my son, accept what I say,
and the years of your life will be many.
11 I instruct you in the way of wisdom
and lead you along straight paths.
12 When you walk, your steps will not be hampered;
when you run, you will not stumble.
13 Hold on to instruction, do not let it go;
guard it well, for it is your life.

Some say no, just listen to the Holy Spirit.

What does the Bible say?

6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled.

Luke 4:4
4 But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ ”
