Paradox #1

This verse could be seen as morally conflicting because it describes God instructing the prophet Jeremiah to make nations drink a cup filled with His anger, leading to destruction and chaos. This might seem inconsistent with the idea of a loving and merciful God, as it shows a side of God that is vengeful and punitive. The contradiction arises in reconciling these two aspects of God's nature.
