Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict might arise from the idea of triumph over enemies. While this verse promises success against foes, it might seem inconsistent with teachings about loving enemies and promoting peace found in other parts of religious teachings. Such a contrast can lead to confusion about how to balance justice with compassion.
