Contradiction with Proverbs 10:22
This verse suggests that the blessings brought by the LORD enrich without added sorrow, whereas Proverbs 13:19 implies unfulfilled desires cause grief.
Proverbs 10:22: The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 1:14
This verse states that all is vanity and vexation of spirit, presenting a view that contrasts with the fulfilled desires leading to sweetness in Proverbs 13:19.
Ecclesiastes 1:14: I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
Contradiction with James 4:3
This verse suggests that asking and not receiving due to wrong desires contradicts with the fulfillment of desires in Proverbs 13:19 being sweet to the soul.
James 4:3: Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts. [lusts: or, pleasures]
Contradiction with 1 John 2:17
This verse talks about the world and its desires passing away, contradicting the notion of the sweetness of desire fulfillment in Proverbs 13:19.
1 John 2:17: And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Contradiction with Philippians 4:11
This verse emphasizes contentment irrespective of circumstances, contrasting the idea of desire fulfillment being joyous in Proverbs 13:19.
Philippians 4:11: Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in Proverbs 13:19 could be seen as the tension between the joy of fulfilling a desire and the potential negative consequences of that fulfillment, such as pursuing selfish or harmful desires. While achieving a goal is satisfying, it can lead to problems if the desire itself is not good or if achieving it negatively impacts others.
