Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:11
This verse suggests that time and chance happen to all men, indicating success is not always due to skill and diligence as implied in Proverbs 22:29.
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.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:45
This verse indicates that God gives blessings regardless of merit, contradicting the idea that diligence alone leads to standing before kings.
Matthew 5:45: That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
