Honeycomb

From BiblePortal Wikipedia

Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types [1]

 Psalm 19:10 (a) The honeycomb seems to be a bit more sweet than the honey which it contains. Perhaps it is the drippings of the honeycomb that are especially sweet. The Word of GOD is described as this honeycomb. It refers to GOD's truth as revealed in His Word. The sweetness and the attractiveness of the Word of GOD are revealed in this passage, and the  Song of Solomon 4:11. The kind expressions of helpfulness which are revealed in the Word are indicated in  Proverbs 16:24 and  Proverbs 24:13.

 Proverbs 27:7 (c) Probably the meaning of this passage is that one might become righteous overmuch, as is described in  Ecclesiastes 7:16. Sometimes passages are used out of their connection, or magnified beyond their purpose, and this is not profitable nor helpful to those who are occupied therein. The passage also means that if one is not hungry for the things of GOD, he will not want any help from GOD. If a person feels that he has enough of religion, or of the knowledge of GOD, or of salvation, and needs no more, then the finest preaching and teaching will do him no good.
