Paradox #1
Jeremiah 50:6 talks about the people being like lost sheep because their leaders have led them astray. A contradiction or conflict might arise from the idea that leaders, who are supposed to guide and protect, are instead causing harm by not fulfilling their responsibilities properly. This can be seen as inconsistent with the expectation of trustworthy and righteous leadership.
