Proverbs 27:7 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The full soul, a man whose appetite or desire (which is oft expressed in Scripture by the name of soul) is fully satisfied, loatheth an honey-comb, the most delicious meats. The design of this proverb is to show the inconvenience that ofttimes attends upon plenty, and the advantage of poverty, that the rich might learn moderation, and the poor content.

Proverbs 27:7

7 The full soul loathethd an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
