Honey is much less than the goodness of God.
The law of the Lord is blameless, converting souls:
the testimony of the Lord is sure, giving wisdom to infants.
The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eye.
The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever and ever;
the judgments of the Lord are true, justified altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much
precious stone; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
from the translation of Psalm 18 in the Psalter of the Prophet King David
