Proverbs 24:13

13 Eat honey, dear child - it's good for you - and delicacies that melt in your mouth.

Proverbs 24:13 In-Context

11 Rescue the perishing; don't hesitate to step in and help.
12 If you say, "Hey, that's none of my business," will that get you off the hook? Someone is watching you closely, you know - Someone not impressed with weak excuses.
13 Eat honey, dear child - it's good for you - and delicacies that melt in your mouth.
14 Likewise knowledge, and wisdom for your soul - Get that and your future's secured, your hope is on solid rock.
15 Don't interfere with good people's lives; don't try to get the best of them.
