Paradox #1
The verse in question implies that God sees the world in human terms. Some people might find this contradictory because God is often described as all-knowing and not limited by human perspectives. This could seem inconsistent with the idea of God's divine and infinite nature.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or conflict in Job 10:4 could arise from the idea of questioning God's ability to understand human suffering from a human perspective. It suggests a tension between divine perspective and human experience, where one might feel that God, being divine, cannot fully comprehend what it means to endure pain and suffering as humans do. This raises questions about empathy and justice in the context of divine-human relationships.
