How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste. Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.
More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food.
I came to my garden, my sister, my bride, I gathered my myrrh with my spice, I ate my honeycomb with my honey, I drank my wine with my milk. Eat, friends, drink, and be drunk with love!
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is better than wine; your anointing oils are fragrant; your name is oil poured out; therefore virgins love you. Draw me after you; let us run. The king has brought me into his chambers. We will exult and rejoice in you; we will extol your love more than wine; rightly do they love you.
