My son, eat thou honey, for it is good;

If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward,
And thy hope shall not be cut off.

But the wicked are overthrown by calamity.

And a good blessing shall come upon them.

Who giveth a right answer.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 24:33 -
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 24:34 -
So shall thy poverty come as a robber,
And thy want as an armed man.
