Proverbs 19:14

“So [shall] the knowledge of wisdom [be] unto thy soul, etc.] Or let it be taken in as greedily and with as good an appetite; as pleasant, useful, delightful, and profitable; even the knowledge of Christ, the Wisdom of God, which is preferable to all things else, and more desirable than the most pleasant and profitable things in the world; and of the Gospel of Christ, the wisdom of God in a mystery, than which nothing is more sweet and comfortable to a truly gracious soul; it is like Ezekiel’s roll, which was in his mouth as honey for sweetness, (<260303>Ezekiel 3:3); when thou hast found [it], then there shall be a reward; for though there may be some difficulty and trouble to attain it, in…”
