If you find it, there is hope for you tomorrow.

So your hope will not be cut off.

if you find it, there will be a future,

and your hope will not be cut off.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

If you find it, there is a future hope for you,

and your hope will not be cut off.

If you find it, you will have a future,

and your hope will never fade.

NLTNew Living Translation

In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul.

If you find it, you will have a bright future,

and your hopes will not be cut short.

and the dripping of the honeycomb is sweet to your taste.

Thus know wisdom for the sake of your soul,

if you find it, then there is a future,

and your hope will not be cut off.

My son, eat thou honey, because it is good;

And the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:

So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul:

When thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward,

And thy expectation shall not be cut off.
