My son, take honey, for it is good; and the flowing honey, which is sweet to your taste: So let your desire be for wisdom: if you have it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
But to me your word is a joy, making my heart glad; for I am named by your name, O Lord God of armies.
