Proverbs 27:7

7. Full soul The satiated appetite, put by figure for the person possessing it. So, also, in the next clause.

Hungry soul A craving appetite. The proverb, in its most literal sense, is a lesson learned from experience. The principle has its amplifications. The honest labourer often relishes more his coarser fare than the pampered Epicurean does his richest feast. Men are often more grateful for the smallest blessings associated with poverty, than rich men are for the greater delicacies with which they have been long surfeited. “Hunger is the best cook.” Indulgence brings satiety and disgust; self restraint multiplies enjoyments. Compare Job 6:7. Loatheth Literally, tramples upon.

Honeycomb Drippings of honey.
