Check out Contradictions Catalog of Job 11:11 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Job 11:11. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to the author of the book of Job, God knows when people are not being honest or nice, and He sees the bad things they do; because He knows everything, He will think about what they have done.

Job 11:11: For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider [it]?

Contradiction with 1 Samuel 16:7

This verse suggests that only God looks at the heart, but Job 11:11 suggests that God sees wickedness and deceit clearly.

1 Samuel 16:7: But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. [outward...: Heb. eyes]

Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:10

This verse implies that God searches the heart and tests the mind, while Job 11:11 implies God already knows everything directly.

Jeremiah 17:10: I the LORD search the heart, [I] try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, [and] according to the fruit of his doings.

Contradiction with Proverbs 15:3

Contradiction with 1 John 3:20

1 John 3:20: For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

Contradiction with Isaiah 11:3

This verse refers to judging not by sight or hearing but with righteousness, suggesting a different approach than the straightforward awareness in Job 11:11.
