Contradiction with Psalm 1:3
This verse suggests that a righteous person, like a tree planted by the waters, will prosper, contradicting Job 21:23 where one in prosperity dies suddenly.
Psalm 1:3: And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. [wither: Heb. fade]
Contradiction with Proverbs 3:33
This verse states that the curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked but blessings are on the dwelling of the just, contradicting the observation of seemingly equal fates in Job 21:23.
Proverbs 3:33: The curse of the LORD [is] in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
Contradiction with Proverbs 13:21
This indicates that evil pursues sinners but good is rewarded to the righteous, which contradicts the equal eventual fate described in Job 21:23.
Proverbs 13:21: Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.
Contradiction with Psalm 37:25
This verse claims that the righteous are never forsaken, nor their children beg for bread, opposing the notion in Job 21:23 where both the content and the wicked seem to have similar ends.
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
The potential contradiction in this verse could be the idea that a person who is prosperous and comfortable may suddenly die, raising questions about the fairness or justice of life. It challenges the belief that good or prosperous living should result in a long and happy life, introducing a conflict between expectation and reality.
