²⁴ Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

¹³ My son, ^(A)eat honey because it is good,
And the honeycomb which is sweet to your taste;
^14 (B)So shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul;
If you have found it, there is a ^[a]prospect,
And your hope will not be cut off.

¹¹ A word fitly ^(A)spoken is like apples of gold
In settings of silver.
¹² Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold
Is a wise rebuker to an obedient ear.
