Eat honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to your taste. Know also that wisdom is like honey for you: If you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
Proverbs 24:13-14
The people of that day depended upon honey for their sweetening, and its properties are still highly acclaimed by health advocates. Judea was a land with an abundance of natural honey as we see in Exodus 3:8. The father would urge his son to seek, find, and know wisdom with the same eagerness with which he enjoyed the sweetness of honey. The sweetness of the wisdom found in the Word of God is compared with the sweetness of honey: Psalm 19:lO; 119:103. The ending of this verse is much like Proverbs 23:18. It shows the great reward and ’the hopeful life that wisdom brings to its possessor.
