Paradox #1
The verse talks about unfair treatment and dishonest gain. A possible contradiction might arise when comparing this focus on justice with narratives where God commands actions that seem harsh or unjust to modern readers. Some people might see this as inconsistent with the overall message of justice and fairness. However, interpretations often consider the historical and cultural context.
