Proverbs 16:33: The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof [is] of the LORD.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 14:33

These verses emphasize that God's ways and thoughts are higher than human actions like casting lots for duties, offering a theological contrast to the practice in 1 Chronicles 25:18.
Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Contradiction with Psalm 37:23

Psalm 37:23: The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. [ordered: or, established]

James 1:17: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
