Proverbs 24:12-14

Revised Standard Version

¹²If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,”
does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it,
and will he not requite man according to his work?

¹³My son, eat honey, for it is good,
    and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.
¹⁴Know that wisdom is such to your soul;
    if you find it, there will be a future,
    and your hope will not be cut off.
