While Psalms 119:17 focuses on the benefits of obedience to God's law, Proverbs 28:25 highlights the negative impact of greed, which can contrast with the implications of divine blessing.
Proverbs 28:25: He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:11

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.

While Psalms 119:17 speaks of obedience leading to good treatment, Jeremiah 12:1 questions why the way of the wicked prospers, contradicting this notion.
Jeremiah 12:1: Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of [thy] judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? [wherefore] are all they happy that deal very treacherously? [talk...: or, reason the case with thee]
