13 My child, eat honey, for it is good,
    and the dripping of the honeycomb is sweet to your taste.

    if you find it, then there is a future,
    and your hope will not be cut off.

Footnotes

  1. Proverbs 24:14 Or “life,” or “inner self”

13 My son, eat thou honey, for it is good;

If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward,
And thy hope shall not be cut off.
