Proverbs 24:13

Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.

For wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that may be desired can’t be compared to it.

“Hey! Come, everyone who thirsts, to the waters! Come, he who has no money, buy, and eat! Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.

Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper.

They answered him, “He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist.” He said, “It’s Elijah the Tishbite.”

The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.

Therefore I love your commandments more than gold, yes, more than pure gold.

Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.

It shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter; for everyone will eat butter and honey that is left within the land.

He said to me, “Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your bowels with this scroll that I give you.” Then I ate it; and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’

He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, “Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which Yahweh has blessed.

“You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread. The fat of my feast shall not remain all night until the morning.

It shall not be baked with yeast. I have given it as their portion of my offerings made by fire. It is most holy, as are the sin offering and the trespass offering.

My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul. If you have found it, then there will be a reward: Your hope will not be cut off.

I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride. I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, friends! Drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved.

My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to pasture his flock in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

at that time Yahweh spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, “Go, and loosen the sackcloth from off your waist, and take your sandals from off your feet.” He did so, walking naked and barefoot.

It will happen in that day, that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision, when he prophesies; neither will they wear a hairy mantle to deceive:

Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

A little yeast grows through the whole lump.

Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared, for today is holy to our Lord. Don’t be grieved, for the joy of Yahweh is your strength.”

I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

After my words they didn’t speak again. My speech fell on them.

My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, my yield than choice silver.

How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

Don’t exalt yourself in the presence of the king, or claim a place among great men;

Have you found honey? Eat as much as is sufficient for you, lest you eat too much, and vomit it.

Don’t be overly righteous, neither make yourself overly wise. Why should you destroy yourself?

Awake, north wind, and come, you south! Blow on my garden, that its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and taste his precious fruits.

He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.

For as the earth produces its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring up, so the Lord Yahweh will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.

But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.

John was clothed with camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.

He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”

He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. This, my joy, therefore is made full.

Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.

If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.

Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath,

“ ‘No meal offering which you shall offer to Yahweh shall be made with yeast; for you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey, as an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.

How sweet are your promises to my taste, more than honey to my mouth!

I hate double-minded men, but I love your law.

Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.

For wisdom will enter into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.

“Come, eat some of my bread, Drink some of the wine which I have mixed!

Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it honorable to seek one’s own honor.

Your lips are like scarlet thread. Your mouth is lovely. Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.

Your lips, my bride, drip like the honeycomb. Honey and milk are under your tongue. The smell of your garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

I went down into the nut tree grove, to see the green plants of the valley, to see whether the vine budded, and the pomegranates were in flower.

Your mouth is like the best wine, that goes down smoothly for my beloved, gliding through the lips of those who are asleep.

Oh that you were like my brother, who nursed from the breasts of my mother! If I found you outside, I would kiss you; yes, and no one would despise me.

You who dwell in the gardens, with friends in attendance, let me hear your voice!

Her merchandise and her wages will be holiness to Yahweh. It will not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise will be for those who dwell before Yahweh, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.

For Yahweh has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yahweh. Joy and gladness will be found in them, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; and he will bear their iniquities.

and Yahweh will guide you continually, satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones strong. You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters don’t fail.

Therefore the Lord Yahweh says, “Behold, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry; behold, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Behold, my servants will rejoice, but you will be disappointed;

You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones will flourish like the tender grass. Yahweh’s hand will be known among his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.

Now John himself wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.

“The King will answer them, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

“I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;

Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,

Through him, then, let’s offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance to his name.

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” He who hears, let him say, “Come!” He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.
