Odes of Solomon/Ode 30

And the Honeycomb of Bees

¹ Draw water for yourselves from the living fountain of the Lord,

because it has been opened for you.

² And come, all you who are thirsty, and take a drink,

and rest beside the fountain of the Lord,

³ because it is beautiful and bright and gives rest to the soul.

⁴ For much sweeter are its waters than honey,

and the honeycomb of bees is not to be compared with it,

⁵ because it goes forth from the lips of the Lord,

and from his heart; the Lord is his name.

⁶ And it came, boundless and unseen,

and until it was set in the middle they did not know it.

⁷ Blessed are those who have drunk from it and have found rest by it.

Hallelujah!
