Contradiction with James 1:19

Contradiction with Hebrews 13:17
Encourages obedience to leaders and submission, which contradicts with the rebellious attitude outlined in Deuteronomy 31:27.
Hebrews 13:17: Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that [is] unprofitable for you. [have...: or, guide]
Paradox #1
Deuteronomy 31:27 might seem inconsistent with the idea of forgiveness and change, as it speaks about the stubbornness and rebellion of the people. This could appear to conflict with teachings that emphasize the ability for people to change and be forgiven through repentance. However, this is typically understood as a reflection of human tendencies and a call to remain faithful.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or inconsistency could be that the verse portrays a lack of faith in the people's ability to remain faithful, which could conflict with the idea of free will or the potential for change and redemption. It assumes a fixed nature of disobedience, potentially conflicting with the belief that people can choose to act differently and improve their moral behavior over time.
