Back in ch.23, we are told not to eat & vs 6 if you did eat it would be sickening. But in vs.13 we are instructed to eat honey and the honeycomb, which is sweet to taste and so good. Honey and honeycomb is a metaphor for knowledge and wisdom. Honey is like unto knowledge and honeycomb, being the source of honey is then Wisdom. In our heart, when we find wisdom and knowledge, its "THEN" (AT THAT DIVINE MOMENT) Then we find a "REWARD" !! "REWARD" means, from hebrew Strongs 319 both future and posterity. Which means both (1) From one ancestor and (2) all future generations. The hebrew meaning for the word "REWARD" is marvelous! I use to think that wisdom is knowing the future. I would say to myself," if i knew the future, then making wise choices would be easy". Hey, in a sense i was right. For Proverbs says, " upon finding knowledge and wisdom --- At that moment-- "THEN" you will have a REWARD, which denotes the FUTURE--
Its like wisdom at the moment of "THEN" Then brings the believer into the future or REWARD same/same.
Descendants of ancestor the 2nd connotation of "REWARD" is equally awesome! We being born of God, by faith in Jesus, "THEN" we now know that we are desendants of the "Ancient of Days" Dan. 7;11&13, whom is our Father God, who sent His son so we could recieve the Holy Spirit in our hearts crying "ABBA FATHER"
And the comfort of vs.14 says,"and thy expectation i.e.(FUTURE) shall not be cut off. i.e. (Destroyed). Praise God - its like seeing yourself in heaven before you get there!! And the God who cannot lie, promises your future will not be destroyed. This all makes me so happy! It is the JOY of the Holy Ghost!! Like eating honey and the honeycomb. Years ago a commedian, on black and white TV, Jackie Gleason, would say, "How Sweet it is!!! agape --- reggie --

PROVERBS CHAPTER 24: DO NOT BE HAPPY WHEN THE ENEMY FALL SHORT IN SERVING THE LORD BUT BE GLAD WHEN HE MAKE MISTAKES. RESPECT THE LORD AND DO NOT ASSOCIATE WITH THOSE WHO DO NOT WANT TO RESPECT THE LORD. A WORD TO THE WISE, IT IS WRONG TO SHOW FAVORITISM WHEN PASSING JUDGEMENT. AN HONEST ANSWER IS LIKE A KISS ON THE LIPS.

When I read, "meddle not with them that are given to change" it sounded (s) to me like it;s saying don't get involved with them that are emotionally unstable. "given to change" they succumb to changing.
