Paradox #1
Jeremiah 23:39 could be seen as inconsistent with teachings about God's forgiveness and mercy. In some parts of the Bible, God is described as always willing to forgive those who repent and seek His mercy. However, this verse shows a strong stance of rejection, which might seem contradictory to the idea of limitless forgiveness.
Paradox #2
The contradiction in that verse could be seen as the conflict between the idea of an all-loving, forgiving God and the portrayal of God as one who can abandon or forget people. This could be seen as inconsistent with the notion of unconditional love and grace.
