Proverbs 24:12-14
International Standard Version
12 If you say, “Look here, we didn’t know about this,”
doesn’t God,[a] who examines motives,[b] discern it?
Doesn’t the one who guards your soul
know about it?
Won’t he repay each person
according to what he has done?
13 My son, eat honey, because it’s good for you;[c]
indeed, drippings from the honeycomb are sweet to your taste;
14 Keep in mind that wisdom is like that for your soul;
if you find it, there will be a future for you,
and what you hope for won’t be cut short.
