Contradiction with James 4:10

James 4:10: Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:5

Contradiction with Psalm 147:6

Paradox #1
This verse reflects a common theme in religious texts about the consequences of pride or defiance against divine authority. A contradiction might arise if the qualities condemned in the verse, like pride or rebellion, are also seen as qualities in other parts of the Bible where assertiveness or questioning is portrayed positively. An inconsistency could be pointed out if similar actions by different figures in the Bible receive different judgments. Thus, a conflict might lie in interpreting when human defiance is seen as negative versus when it is seen as positively standing up for one's beliefs.
