Paradox #1

Jeremiah 30:12 describes a situation of incurable wounds, representing a dire condition or judgment. The moral conflict might arise when considering the compassionate nature often attributed to God, who is also portrayed as loving and healing. This verse suggests a lack of healing or redemption, which could seem inconsistent with the broader biblical message of hope and restoration for those who repent. So, the tension lies in balancing divine justice with divine mercy.
