Not good, to wit, for the health of the body. For men; which words are easily understood, both out of the foregoing clause, where the honey is supposed to be eaten by men, and out of the following words, which are evidently meant of them. To search their own glory; industriously to seek for honour and applause from men. Is not glory; is not only sinful, but shameful also, and a sign of a vain and mean spirit. The negative particle not is here understood out of the former part of the verse, as it is Psalms 1:5, Psalms 9:18.
