Proverbs 24:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 If thou say, Behold, we knew not of it: he that pondereth the hearts, doth not he understand it? and he that keepeth thy soul, knoweth he it not? will he not also recompense every man according to his works?
13 My son, eat [a]honey, for it is good, and the honey comb, for it is sweet unto thy mouth.
14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul if thou find it, and there shall be an [b]end, and thine hope shall not be cut off.
