Eat honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.Know also that wisdom is like honey for you: If you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. (niv)
I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice. I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk. Eat, friends, and drink; drink your fill of love. (niv)
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth— for your love is more delightful than wine.Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the young women love you!Take me away with you— let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers. We rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine. How right they are to adore you! (niv)
