Proverbs 24:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² If you say, “Look, we didn’t know about it,”
    the one who weighs hearts—doesn’t he understand?
    The one who protects your life—he knows.
    He makes people pay for their actions.

¹³ My child, eat honey, for it is good.
    The honeycomb is sweet in your mouth.
¹⁴ Know that wisdom is like that for your whole being.
    If you find it, there is a future.
    Your hope won’t be cut off.
