Honey

For The Sunday Challenge - Seven Deadly Sins. Honey is an image for at least three of the Deadly Sins. From the Bible in the Book of Proverbs: Lust: Proverbs 5: 3-4 For the lips of an adulteress drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword. Gluttony: Proverbs 25:16 If you find honey, eat just enough— too much of it, and you will vomit. Proverbs 27:7 He who is full loathes honey, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet. Pride: Proverbs 25:27 It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable to seek one’s own honor. Sloth: Because I could not be bothered to create a more interesting photograph. My wife tells me that it is the worst one I have taken in a long time. ;-) It is of greater interest that honey is mostly a symbol of blessing and prosperity but like most blessings there is a razor edge between what is good and how it can be defiled.
