My child, 

eat honey, 

for it is good, 

and the honeycomb is sweet to the taste. 

In the same way, 

wisdom is sweet to your soul. 

If you find it, 

you will have a bright future,

and your hopes will not be cut short.

Proverbs 24:13-14 NLT

Do you get the stance of the writer of this proverb?

"My child..."

I don't think this is written to children but is coming from someone who is approaching the end of their life, with a heart that is full of love and care for the reader.

"My child, as I look at you I just want you to hold some of the big things that I've learned and know, and here's one.

Consuming wisdom like you would honey, as a treasure and gift from God, that is going to change your life, change what you hope for, change you. 

Change you for good. 

Allow wisdom in, just like honey, allow it in to those inmost parts, where it brings nourishment, and healing, and hope. 

Arohanui my child"
