Paradox #1
Jeremiah 30:15 might be seen as morally inconsistent because it deals with suffering as a just punishment. Some people may feel conflicted about the idea of having to endure pain as a fair consequence when they believe in a compassionate and forgiving God. This can raise questions about justice, mercy, and the nature of divine retribution.
