Shall not see

surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it:

Of honey

He made him ride on the high places of the earth. He ate the increase of the field. He caused him to suck honey out of the rock, oil out of the flinty rock;

honey, butter, sheep, and cheese of the herd, for David, and for the people who were with him, to eat: for they said, "The people are hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness."

But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock."
