Paradox #1
This verse reflects on the turmoil and conflict faced by nations and cities as a result of divine intervention. A contradiction or conflict might arise from the idea of God causing suffering and distress. This challenges the perception of a benevolent and just God, as it suggests divine responsibility for suffering, which can be difficult to reconcile with the notion of an all-loving deity.
