Contradicts Exodus 15:9 by instructing to leave vengeance to God and avoid taking revenge.

Paradox #1
Exodus 15:9 reflects the mindset and intentions of the enemies of the Israelites, specifically the Egyptians pursuing them. A possible contradiction could arise when considering the violent and vengeful intent expressed. This might appear inconsistent with later biblical teachings that emphasize love and forgiveness. However, the verse simply narrates the mindset of the pursuers, not God's will, so the contradiction may not be significant in understanding the broader biblical message.
Paradox #2
The contradiction in this verse could be seen in the attitude of vengeance and violence expressed by the speaker. This may conflict with later biblical teachings on forgiveness and loving one's enemies. It presents inconsistency between Old Testament portrayals of vengeance and New Testament messages of peace and forgiveness.
