13  My son, ^oeat honey, for it is good,

and ^pthe drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.

1  I ^gcame to my garden, my ^hsister, my bride,

I gathered my ⁱmyrrh with my spice,

I ate my ^jhoneycomb with my honey,

I ^kdrank my wine with my milk.

Eat, ^lfriends, drink,

and be drunk with love!

16  If you have ^ffound honey, eat ^gonly enough for you,

lest you have your fill of it and vomit it.

10  More to be desired are they than ^ygold,

even much ^zfine gold;

^asweeter also than honey

and drippings of ^bthe honeycomb.

103  How ^esweet are your words to my taste,

sweeter than honey to my mouth!

27  It is ^qnot good to eat much honey,

nor is it glorious to ^rseek one’s own glory.¹

11  Your ^plips drip nectar, my bride;

^qhoney and milk are under your tongue;

the fragrance of your garments is ^rlike the fragrance of ^hLebanon.
