13 Eat my son, honey that 'is' good, And the honeycomb—sweet to thy palate. 14 So 'is' the knowledge of wisdom to thy soul, If thou hast found that there is a posterity And thy hope is not cut off.
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.
