Honey

“He shall eat curds and honey when he knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good.” (Isa. 7:15 ESV)

Gracious words are like a honeycomb

“Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.” (Prov. 16:24 ESV)

Therefore…

“My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.” (Prov. 24:13 ESV)

But, not too much

“It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it glorious to seek one's own glory.” (Prov. 25:27 ESV)

The rules of the Lord are sweeter than honey

“The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.” (Psalms 19:7-11 ESV)
