Paradox #1
Jeremiah 26:11 deals with the priests and prophets calling for Jeremiah's death, accusing him of prophesying against the city. A perceived inconsistency arises when comparing this with other biblical teachings about true prophets and the importance of following God's messages. While elsewhere it is emphasized that God's prophets should be listened to, here his message is being met with hostility from religious leaders. This conflict between the reception of true prophecy and the resistance from established authorities highlights a tension between institutional authority and divine revelation.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or conflict might arise from the different perspectives on justice and prophecy. The authorities in the verse may see Jeremiah's prophecy as a threat and a reason for punishment, while others might see it as a necessary message from God that should be heeded rather than punished. This creates a conflict between the human understanding of law and order and the divine message.
