Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 7:11

Matthew 5:5: Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Paradox #1
Job 20:28 speaks about consequences and justice. A possible contradiction or conflict is that it suggests bad things will happen as a form of punishment, which might not align with the idea of forgiveness and mercy often highlighted in other parts of the Bible. This could create tension between justice and compassion.
