Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in this verse might lie in the idea of punishment and forgiveness. On the one hand, the verse implies that people are punished for their sins, which raises questions about fairness and the nature of divine justice. On the other hand, it suggests that forgiveness and restoration are possible, which might seem inconsistent with the initial idea of punishment. This could lead to questions about why forgiveness isn't offered without the punishment or why a benevolent deity would allow suffering as a form of correction.
