Contradiction with Matthew 7:1
This verse advises against judging others, which can be seen as contradicting the call for justice and condemnation of injustice found in Deuteronomy 25:16.
Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Contradiction with Romans 14:13
Encourages not to judge one another, which contrasts with Deuteronomy 25:16's condemnation of wrongdoing.
Romans 14:13: Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in [his] brother's way.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:39
Preaches turning the other cheek instead of demanding justice, seemingly contradicting the call for fairness in Deuteronomy 25:16.
Matthew 5:39: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency could relate to the verse's demand for honest measures and fairness in trade, which might conflict with other historical accounts of accepted trading practices in the ancient world that were not always fair or honest. This discrepancy between ideal laws and actual practices can highlight differences in moral expectations versus real-world behavior at the time.
Paradox #2
This verse might conflict with the idea of mercy and forgiveness that is often taught in other parts of the Bible. It emphasizes strict adherence to rules and can seem harsh or unforgiving, which might contradict teachings about love, compassion, and forgiveness.
