Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.

A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:

So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.

MEM. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
