Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:20
This verse states that sons will not bear the guilt of their fathers, contradicting the idea in Ezekiel 23:30 where collective guilt is implied on Judah for past sins.
Ezekiel 18:20: The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:29-30
It emphasizes individual responsibility for sin, contrasting the collective punishment mentioned in Ezekiel 23:30.
Jeremiah 31:29-30: In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 24:16
States that each person should be put to death for their own sin, contradicting the notion of communal punishment in Ezekiel 23:30.
Deuteronomy 24:16: The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
Contradiction with Lamentations 5:7
Acknowledges that ancestors sinned and descendants bear the consequences, contrasting with the individual responsibility emphasized in Ezekiel 23:30.
Lamentations 5:7: Our fathers have sinned, [and are] not; and we have borne their iniquities.
Paradox #1
The contradiction could be that it talks about punishment in a way that might seem harsh or unfair by modern standards, especially if someone no longer has control over past actions.
