Matthew Henry Commentary Proverbs 27:7

"The full soul loatheth a honeycomb; But to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet." — Proverbs 27:7 (ASV)

The poor have a better relish of their enjoyments, and are often more thankful for them, than the rich. Similarly, the proud and self-sufficient disdain the gospel; but those who hunger and thirst after righteousness find comfort from the humblest book or sermon that testifies of Christ Jesus.
