Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 6:7
This verse suggests that "All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled," implying that despite constant effort, fulfillment remains elusive, contrasting with the idea that satisfaction leads to indifference toward even sweet things.
Ecclesiastes 6:7: All the labour of man [is] for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled. [appetite: Heb. soul]
Paradox #1
The verse could be seen as inconsistent when compared to other biblical teachings that emphasize being content regardless of one's circumstances. While Proverbs 27:7 suggests that a satisfied person might overlook or not appreciate certain things, other passages, like those in Philippians, encourage believers to find contentment in all situations, whether in abundance or need. This could be seen as a contrasting perspective on how satisfaction and contentment are experienced and valued.
