Paradox #1
Deuteronomy 28:60 might be seen as contradictory when compared to certain beliefs about God's nature, particularly His goodness and love.

This could seem inconsistent with the view of God as purely benevolent.
Paradox #2
The potential moral conflict in this verse arises from the idea of punishing people with diseases for their disobedience. It raises questions about the fairness and compassion of using illness as a form of divine punishment.
