Proverbs 24:13-15
New Catholic Bible
13 Eat honey,[a] my son, for it is good,
and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to the taste.
14 In much the same manner
will wisdom be sweet to your soul.
If you find it, you will have a future,
and your hope[b] will not be cut off.
15 Do not lie in wait at the home of a righteous man;
do not raid his dwelling.
