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.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 24:13
Commentary on Proverbs 24:13-14
(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.
