Cyril of Alexandria, on Prov 16:24
Cyril of Alexandria · A.D. 376–444
Prov 16:24 · Douay-Rheims
“Well ordered words are as a honeycomb: sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.”
On this verse:
“You who love instruction and are eager to listen, receive once again the sacred words: delight yourselves in the honey of wisdom; for so it is written, "Good words are honeycombs, and their sweetness is the healing of the soul." For the labor of the bees is very sweet and benefits in many ways the soul of man; but the divine and saving [honey] makes those in whom it dwells skillful in every good work and teaches them the ways of [spiritual] improvement.”
