Contradiction with Proverbs 20:22
This verse advises against seeking revenge, urging to wait on the Lord for deliverance, whereas 2 Chronicles 33:25 describes a scenario of vengeance being enacted through violence.
Proverbs 20:22: Say not thou, I will recompense evil; [but] wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
Contradiction with Romans 12:19
This verse directs believers not to take vengeance but to leave room for God's wrath, in contrast to the revenge taken in 2 Chronicles 33:25 by the people.
Romans 12:19: Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:44
This verse teaches to love enemies and pray for those who persecute you, directly opposing the act of revenge described in 2 Chronicles 33:25.
Matthew 5:44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in this verse could be the cycle of violence and retribution. It describes people taking justice into their own hands, which conflicts with teachings elsewhere in the Bible that emphasize forgiveness and leaving vengeance to God. This could raise questions about the morality of revenge and human-administered justice.
