13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.
13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
13 My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.
13 Eat honey, dear child - it's good for you - and delicacies that melt in your mouth.
13 My son, eat honey because it is good, And the honeycomb which is sweet to your taste;
13 My child, eat honey, for it is good, and the honeycomb is sweet to the taste.
14 Know also that wisdom is like honey for you: If you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
14 Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
14 Likewise knowledge, and wisdom for your soul - Get that and your future's secured, your hope is on solid rock.
14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul; If you have found it, there is a prospect, And your hope will not be cut off.
14 In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, you will have a bright future, and your hopes will not be cut short.
(Read Proverbs 24:13-14)
We are quickened to the study of wisdom by considering both the pleasure and the profit of it. All men relish things that are sweet to the palate; but many have no relish for the things that are sweet to the purified soul, and that make us wise unto salvation.
