13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.
13 My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.
13 Eat honey, dear child - it's good for you - and delicacies that melt in your mouth.
13 My son, eat honey because it is good, And the honeycomb which is sweet to your taste;
13 My child, eat honey, for it is good, and the honeycomb is sweet to the taste.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 24:13
Commentary on Proverbs 24:13-14
(Read Proverbs 24:13-14)
We are quickened to the study of wisdom by considering both the pleasure and the profit of it. All men relish things that are sweet to the palate; but many have no relish for the things that are sweet to the purified soul, and that make us wise unto salvation.
