Proverbs 24:13-14
International Standard Version
13 My son, eat honey, because it’s good for you;[a]
indeed, drippings from the honeycomb are sweet to your taste;
14 Keep in mind that wisdom is like that for your soul;
if you find it, there will be a future for you,
and what you hope for won’t be cut short.
