²⁴ Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

¹³ My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:

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.

¹⁸ There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

²² For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

¹¹ A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

¹² As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
