Proverbs 16:24

Kind (gracious, gentle, beautiful) words are like a [flowing and sticky] honeycomb [Prov 15:26; Ps. 19:11] –
sweet (a sweetness) for the soul and healthy (a healing) for the body [the bones of the body].
[Honey stands for something good and healthy and (together with milk) is a symbol of the blessed Promised Land, see Deut. 6:3.]
