- Eat honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.
- Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.

- My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
- So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
- Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
