13Eat my son, honey that is good, And the honeycomb — sweet to thy palate.


In Context

10 Thou hast shewed thyself weak in a day of adversity, Straitened is thy power,

11 If from delivering those taken to death, And those slipping to the slaughter — thou keepest back.

12 When thou sayest, 'Lo, we knew not this.' Is not the Ponderer of hearts He who understandeth? And the Keeper of thy soul He who knoweth? And He hath rendered to man according to his work.

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.

15 Lay not wait, O wicked one, At the habitation of the righteous. Do not spoil his resting-place.
