Contradiction with Job 42:10
This verse contradicts Job 20:29 by showing that Job's fortunes were restored and he received blessings, whereas Job 20:29 suggests a negative outcome as a portion from God.
Job 42:10: And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. [gave...: Heb. added all that had been to Job unto the double]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:12
This verse contradicts Job 20:29 by stating that it will be well with those who fear God, contradicting the notion of similar outcomes or judgments for everyone.
Ecclesiastes 8:12: Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his [days] be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:
Contradiction with Psalm 37:25
This verse contradicts Job 20:29 by indicating that the righteous are not forsaken, contrasting the negative inheritance described in Job 20:29.
Psalm 37:25: I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Paradox #1
This verse can be seen as portraying a conflict where it suggests that people who do wrong are ultimately punished, yet in life, we often observe that those who do evil may prosper temporarily or even throughout their lives. This apparent contradiction between the biblical promise of justice and the real-world experience of unjust prosperity can lead to questions about fairness and divine justice.
