Contradiction with Proverbs 18:24
This verse implies that a man of many companions may come to ruin, whereas Job 19:13 expresses Job's feeling of abandonment by his brothers and acquaintances.
Proverbs 18:24: A man [that hath] friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend [that] sticketh closer than a brother.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:44
This verse commands loving and praying for enemies, while Job 19:13 speaks about being estranged from friends, contrasting personal actions vs. others' treatment.

Contradiction with John 15:13

John 15:13: Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Contradiction with Psalm 27:10
This verse assures God's support even when family forsakes someone, contrary to Job's experience of abandonment reflected in Job 19:13.
Psalm 27:10: When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. [take...: Heb. gather me]
Contradiction with Hebrews 13:5
God's promise to never leave nor forsake believers conflicts with Job's experience of feeling forsaken by his close ones as mentioned in Job 19:13.
Hebrews 13:5: [Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Paradox #1
The moral conflict in this context might arise from the idea of isolation and abandonment. The verse suggests that Job feels deserted by his close ones, which can seem at odds with the broader biblical themes of community support and familial loyalty. This contradiction highlights the tension between the experiences of personal suffering and the expectation of unwavering support from loved ones.
