Contradictions and Paradoxes in Job 11:6

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Job 11:6 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Job 11:6. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Christians, this means God knows much more than we do and He is very wise. Even when we do something wrong, He is kinder to us than we actually deserve.

Job 11:6: And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that [they are] double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee [less] than thine iniquity [deserveth].

Contradiction with Proverbs 3:5

This verse emphasizes trusting in the Lord with all your heart and not relying on your own understanding, which can contrast with Job 11:6 that speaks of wisdom's complexity suggesting our understanding is limited.

Proverbs 3:5: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Contradiction with James 1:5

This verse states that God gives wisdom generously to all who ask, which could be seen as contradicting Job 11:6's implication that divine wisdom may be hidden and beyond full comprehension.

James 1:5: If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Contradiction with Romans 11:33

This verse highlights the unsearchable nature of God’s judgments and ways, while Job 11:6 suggests wisdom's depth but also the possibility of it being revealed.

Romans 11:33: O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

Contradiction with Isaiah 55:8-9

These verses assert that God's thoughts and ways are higher than ours, contrasting with the idea in Job 11:6 that wisdom, though profound, can be imparted.

Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 2:10

This verse explains that the Spirit reveals deep truths of God, which contrasts Job 11:6’s notion that such wisdom is not easily grasped or understood.

1 Corinthians 2:10: But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Paradox #1

The contradiction in Job 11:6 could be the idea that humans can't fully understand God's wisdom, which some may see as conflicting with the belief that God should be just and fair according to human standards. This can be seen as inconsistent because it suggests that God's actions might not always align with human concepts of justice, yet people are still expected to trust and follow Him.
