Contradiction with Matthew 5:10
This verse speaks of the blessedness of those who are persecuted, which contrasts with the hardship and fall experienced in Daniel 11:33.
Matthew 5:10: Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Contradiction with John 16:33
This verse promises peace in Jesus despite tribulation, whereas Daniel 11:33 emphasizes the suffering of those who understand.

Contradiction with 2 Timothy 3:12

2 Timothy 3:12: Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
Contradiction with Revelation 2:10
This verse encourages faithfulness unto death for a crown of life, contrasting with the portrayal of those who fall by the sword in Daniel 11:33.
Revelation 2:10: Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast [some] of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Paradox #1
Daniel 11:33 talks about wise people who teach others during difficult times but also face challenges themselves. The contradiction might be that these wise and good teachers are still subjected to suffering and persecution despite their positive actions and guidance. It raises questions about why bad things happen to good people and can feel inconsistent with the idea of justice or protection for the righteous.
