Paradox #1
The potential conflict with this verse arises from the idea of justice versus fairness. The verse suggests a severe punishment for wrongdoing without exception, which may seem harsh or unfair if the wrongdoer acted unintentionally or was unaware. It raises questions about whether strict justice is always right or if mercy should be considered.
