'Sweeter' in the Bible

And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, "What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?" And he said to them, "If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have found out my riddle."

They are more precious than gold, yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey and the dropping of the honeycomb.
