This verse suggests that those who are full and laugh now will experience woe, which contrasts Proverbs 11:27 by indicating that seeking good doesn't necessarily lead to favor and positive outcomes.
Luke 6:25: Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:14
This verse notes the existence of righteous people who suffer despite their righteousness while the wicked prosper, which contradicts the idea in Proverbs 11:27 that seeking good will lead to favor.
Ecclesiastes 8:14: There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just [men], unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked [men], to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also [is] vanity.
Contradiction with Job 21:7
This verse questions why the wicked live and become old, contrasting with Proverbs 11:27's implication that seeking good is met with favor rather than frustration.
Job 21:7: Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
Contradiction with Psalm 73:3
Here, the prosperity of the wicked is observed, which contradicts the notion that seeking good, as mentioned in Proverbs 11:27, invariably leads to positive outcomes.
Psalm 73:3: For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:11
This verse indicates that success and favor do not always go to those who actively seek good, which contrasts with Proverbs 11:27’s implication of a direct correlation between effort and positive outcomes.
Ecclesiastes 9:11: I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
