Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict might arise from the perspective that the verse talks about how the wicked seem to live in prosperity and have a seemingly successful life, despite not following or acknowledging God. This could be seen as inconsistent because it challenges the idea that a righteous life leads to prosperity while wickedness leads to downfall, creating confusion about the fairness and justice of the divine order.
