Contradiction with Matthew 6:25
This verse advises not to worry about life and material needs, suggesting a focus on spiritual matters rather than the diligent attention to material wealth implied in Proverbs 27:23.
Matthew 6:25: Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

These verses emphasize seeking God's kingdom first and assure provision for needs, which seems to downplay the necessity for human diligence in managing possessions as stressed in Proverbs 27:23.
Matthew 6:31-33: Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
