Contradiction with Proverbs 11:11

Proverbs 11:11: By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
Contradiction with Isaiah 5:20
This verse condemns calling evil good and good evil, suggesting the importance of moral clarity, whereas Deuteronomy 27:18 addresses the act of misleading rather than moral clarity.
Isaiah 5:20: Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! [call...: Heb. say concerning evil, It is good, etc]
Contradiction with Romans 14:13
This verse encourages not to judge or put a stumbling block in a brother's way, which could conflict with the underlying assumption in Deuteronomy 27:18 that suggests some are led astray.
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 Jeremiah 17:5
This verse says cursed is the man who trusts in man, which emphasizes dependence on God, while Deuteronomy 27:18 focuses on misleading the blind and implies a more specific moral code.
Jeremiah 17:5: Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Paradox #1
This verse talks about not leading a blind person astray. The contradiction could be that in some situations, people might think they are helping the blind by making decisions for them, but this disrespects their autonomy and ability to make choices. It highlights the conflict between offering assistance and respecting independence.
