10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
