Contradiction with Matthew 5:44
While Ezekiel 23:46 pronounces judgment, Matthew 5:44 advocates loving your enemies and praying for those who persecute you.
Matthew 5:44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Contradiction with Romans 12:19
Ezekiel 23:46 calls for executing judgment, whereas Romans 12:19 instructs not to avenge ourselves but to leave room for God's wrath.
Romans 12:19: Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Contradiction with James 2:13
Ezekiel 23:46 focuses on executing severe justice, but James 2:13 speaks of mercy triumphing over judgment.
James 2:13: For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. [rejoiceth: or, glorieth]
Contradiction with Luke 6:27
This verse emphasizes doing good to those who hate you, which contrasts with the judicial execution commanded in Ezekiel 23:46.
Luke 6:27: But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Paradox #1
This verse talks about harsh judgment and punishment, which can seem to contradict more compassionate teachings elsewhere in the Bible about forgiveness and mercy. This apparent conflict between justice and mercy might confuse readers about the overall message.
