TWOT Reference: 1268c
sweet
sweetness, pleasant (thing)
Strong's Number H4966 matches the Hebrew מָתוֹק (māṯôq),
which occurs 12 times in 11 verses
in the WLC Hebrew.
So he said to them:
Out of the eater came something to eat,
and out of the strong came something sweet.
After three days, they were unable to explain the riddle.
On the seventh day, before sunset, the men of the city said to him:
What is sweeter than honey?
What is stronger than a lion?
So he said to them:
If you hadn’t plowed with my young cow,
you wouldn’t know my riddle now!
They are more desirable than gold —
than an abundance of pure gold;
and sweeter than honey
dripping from a honeycomb.
A person who is full tramples on a honeycomb,
but to a hungry person, any bitter thing is sweet.
The sleep of the worker is sweet, whether he eats little or much, but the abundance of the rich permits him no sleep.
Like an apricot[fn] tree among the trees of the forest,
so is my love among the young men.
I delight to sit in his shade,
and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who substitute darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who substitute bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.
