More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.
How sweet are thy words unto my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
The law of thy mouth is better unto me Than thousands of gold and silver. י YODH.
Therefore I love thy commandments Above gold, yea, above fine gold.
How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! Yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.
I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; And my revenue than choice silver.
My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; And the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to thy taste:
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips;
And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and when I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter.
