13  My son, eat honey, for it is good,

and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.

14  Know that wisdom is such to your soul;

if you find it, ^fthere will be a future,

and your hope will not be cut off.

16  for the righteous ^gfalls seven times and rises again,

but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.

20  for the evil man has no future;

the ^jlamp of the wicked will be put out.

21  My son, ^kfear the Lord and the king,

and do not join with those who do otherwise,

22  for disaster will arise suddenly from them,

and who knows the ruin that will come from them both?
