Contradiction with Psalm 37:11

Isaiah 2:12 speaks of the day of the Lord being upon everyone that is proud and lofty, highlighting judgment, whereas Psalm 37:11 promises that the meek shall inherit the earth, suggesting blessing and peace rather than judgment.

Psalm 37:11: But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

Contradiction with Matthew 5:5

Isaiah 2:12 talks about humbling the proud, but Matthew 5:5 assures that the meek will inherit the earth, focusing more on blessing for the humble rather than judgment of the proud.

Matthew 5:5: Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Paradox #1

The contradiction or conflict could arise from the interpretation of divine punishment versus forgiveness. On one hand, teachings emphasize a forgiving and merciful God, while on the other, this verse suggests a time of judgment and consequence for certain behaviors. This could seem inconsistent with the idea of unconditional forgiveness.
