While Exodus 22:14 discusses restitution for borrowed goods, this verse discusses victory over enemies, focusing on divine support rather than material responsibility.

Deuteronomy 28:7: The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.

Paradox #1

Exodus 22:14 involves rules about borrowing and responsibility for others' belongings. A contradiction or conflict might arise if someone believes that all possessions should be shared and not owned individually, which contrasts with the idea of personal responsibility for borrowed items. Another conflict could occur if someone values forgiveness and leniency over strict restitution. These ideas could clash with the straightforward rule of repayment in the verse.
