The ancient Israelites viewed honeycomb has a valuable commodity, a nourishing food as well as a sweetener for the foods they ate. In addition, the honey, refined from the honeycomb, was also used for medicinal purposes because it fought off infection and helped wounds to heal faster. The comparison here is meant to show the pleasantness and benefits we get from reading, memorizing and understanding God's word, the Bible. And how reading and studying God's word not only sweetens our lives and our outlook on life, but it also nourishes our mind and our souls, thereby helping us to grow in wisdom and knowledge of God. In addition, God's word can heal our spirits. The regular studying and reading of God's word makes us stronger.

Moreover, God's word gives us practical wisdom for everyday life, as well as knowledge of Jesus, who He is and what He has done for us. Knowledge which leads to salvation and the spiritual blessings of God. Like good nourishment that strengthens the bones and makes us healthy, so too God's word strengthens our souls.
