Proverbs 16:24 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Pleasant words; the discourses of the wise last mentioned, Proverbs 16:23, which yield both profit and delight; their wholesome counsels and refreshing comforts. To the bones; to the body, synecdochically expressed by the bones, the strongest and greatest parts of it, and the supporters of the rest.

Proverbs 16:24

24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
