12 If you say, “Surely we did not know this,”
Does not (A)He who weighs the hearts consider it?
He who keeps your soul, does He not know it?
And will He not render to each man (B)according to his deeds?

13 My son, (C)eat honey because it is good,
And the honeycomb which is sweet to your taste;
14 (D)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.

    and your hope will not be cut off.(D)
