Proverbs 25:27
King James Version
8 Jun 2026
“It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.”
טוֹב
Taste and see. David does not say understand or agree — he says taste. Towb is goodness you experience, not just believe in. God's goodness is not a theological position. It is something you encounter when you draw near to Him.
כָּבוֹד
is an honor

כָּבוֹד
Glory, weight, honour. Kabod. The manifest presence of God. When His glory appears everything changes. It is not abstract praise but actual divine presence.
