Paradox #1
The doctrinal conflict in Isaiah 3:5 could be about the breakdown of social order. The verse discusses societal chaos, where individuals, especially the young, rise against their elders and those in authority. This might conflict with biblical teachings that emphasize respect for elders and maintaining social harmony, such as those found in the Ten Commandments which stress honoring one's parents. This societal disorder could be seen as contrary to the ideal order God prescribes.
Paradox #2
Isaiah 3:5 describes a situation where societal order breaks down, with the young disrespecting the old and people mistreating one another. A contradiction could be seen in the broader context of how societal values are sometimes portrayed as collapsing in this verse, while other parts of the Bible encourage respect and harmony within the community. This contrast might seem inconsistent with the overall biblical emphasis on love and respect for others.
