Proverbs 24:13 - 24:14

Eat honey, my son, for it is good,

Indeed, the honey from the comb is sweet to your taste;

Know that wisdom is thus for your soul;

If you find it, then there will be a future,

And your hope will not be cut off.

Proverbs 24:16

For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again,

But the wicked will stumble in calamity.

For there will be no future for the evil one;

The lamp of the wicked will go out.

My son, fear Yahweh and the king;

Do not associate with those who change,

For suddenly their disaster will rise,

And who knows the upheaval that comes from both of them?
