Paradox #1
The moral conflict in Isaiah 9:19 could be seen as the portrayal of divine anger leading to destruction, which might seem contradictory to the idea of a loving and forgiving God. This can be confusing because it mixes wrath with love, raising questions about how these opposing aspects coexist within a single divine being.
