Contradiction with Hebrews 12:6
Hebrews 12:6 emphasizes that whom the Lord loves he chastens, indicating a positive aspect of divine correction that contrasts with Jeremiah 10:24 which seeks correction with mercy rather than wrath.
Hebrews 12:6: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Contradiction with Proverbs 3:11-12
These verses encourage not despising the Lord's correction and associate it with love, while Jeremiah 10:24 requests correction with care to avoid destruction.

Contradiction with Revelation 3:19

Paradox #1

This reflects the complexity of wanting to improve while fearing the process.
