My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
Eat thou honey, because it is good (a gracious invitation to partake of the spiritual honey, Song of Solomon 5:1 ; Psalms 19:9-10 ; Psalms 119:103 ): so shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul - at once sweet and profitable.
When thou hast found it (Matthew 13:44 ; Matthew 13:46 ), then there shall be a reward (or end: a reward at the end of the work), and thy expectation shall not be cut off - (Proverbs 23:18, margin; 1 Timothy 4:8)
