Contradiction with Exodus 34:7
This verse highlights God maintaining justice by not clearing the guilty, contradicting the concept of forgiveness stressed in Daniel 9:9.
Exodus 34:7: Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth [generation].
Contradiction with Nahum 1:3
God will not acquit the wicked, suggesting a conflict with the forgiving nature mentioned in Daniel 9:9.
Nahum 1:3: The LORD [is] slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit [the wicked]: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds [are] the dust of his feet.
Contradiction with Proverbs 11:21
It asserts that the wicked will not go unpunished, opposing the idea of mercy in Daniel 9:9.
Proverbs 11:21: [Though] hand [join] in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
Contradiction with Job 10:14
Suggests God marks iniquity and punishes, conflicting with the message of forgiveness in Daniel 9:9.
Job 10:14: If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
Contradiction with Romans 11:22
Emphasizes the severity of God towards those who fall, which contrasts with the forgiveness aspect in Daniel 9:9.
Romans 11:22: Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in [his] goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in Daniel 9:9 could be the tension between justice and forgiveness. On one hand, justice might demand punishment for wrongdoing. On the other hand, this verse emphasizes forgiveness and mercy. Balancing these two principles could be seen as a moral inconsistency or challenge.
