According to Ezekiel, God is saying that because the people have done bad things and not tried to hide them, they will be caught and punished. God remembers their mistakes because they didn't try to change or do good.

Ezekiel 21:24: Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, [I say], that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.

Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:34

This verse speaks of God forgiving iniquity and remembering sin no more, contrasting with Ezekiel 21:24, where sin is remembered and judgment is pronounced.

Jeremiah 31:34: And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Contradiction with Isaiah 43:25

Here, God declares that He blots out transgressions and will not remember sins, contrasting with the message of punishment in Ezekiel 21:24.

Isaiah 43:25: I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

Contradiction with Hebrews 8:12

This verse emphasizes God's mercy in forgetting sins, which contradicts Ezekiel 21:24's theme of accountability and punishment for sins.

Hebrews 8:12: For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Contradiction with Micah 7:18-19

These verses highlight God's forgiveness and casting sins into the sea, which contrasts the remembrance and consequence of sins in Ezekiel 21:24.

Micah 7:18-19: Who [is] a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth [in] mercy.

Contradiction with Psalm 103:12

This verse speaks to God removing transgressions as far as the east is from the west, differing from Ezekiel 21:24's focus on recalling iniquities for judgment.

Psalm 103:12: As far as the east is from the west, [so] far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Paradox #1

This verse might show a moral conflict by suggesting that people are punished for their wrongdoings, which raises questions about fairness if people are unaware of the right path or feel they lack guidance. It could seem inconsistent with the idea of mercy if punishment appears severe or inevitable without chances for redemption or understanding.
