Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 5:18
This verse praises enjoying the labor of one's work, suggesting that hard work alone can be fulfilling without the need for contrasting outcomes like poverty or plenty, as implied in Proverbs 28:19.
Ecclesiastes 5:18: Behold [that] which I have seen: [it is] good and comely [for one] to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it [is] his portion. [It is good...: Heb. there is a good which is comely, etc] [all the days: Heb. the number of the days]

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 Job 1:21
