Contradiction with Ezekiel 3:18
This verse suggests that if the watchman does not warn the wicked, their blood will be required at the watchman's hand, which echoes the responsibility of warning in Ezekiel 3:19 rather than contradicting it.
Ezekiel 3:18: When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:23
Indicates that God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked, contrasting with the implication of a warning to avoid their own death in Ezekiel 3:19.
Ezekiel 18:23: Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: [and] not that he should return from his ways, and live?
Contradiction with Jonah 3:10
Shows God's willingness to relent from sending calamity when people repent, which could be seen as conflicting with the idea in Ezekiel 3:19 of personal accountability despite repentance.
Jonah 3:10: And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did [it] not.
Paradox #1
Ezekiel 3:19 might present a contradiction or conflict regarding personal responsibility and the fairness of punishment. It suggests that a person is only responsible for warning others and not for the outcome of their choices. This could seem inconsistent with the idea that individuals should actively help others change their ways, rather than just issuing warnings. The conflict arises in balancing personal responsibility with the responsibility to actively aid others in avoiding harm.
