Contradiction with Psalm 37:25
This verse implies the righteous are never forsaken, while Job 21:9 suggests that the wicked dwell safe.
Psalm 37:25: I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Contradiction with Proverbs 12:21
This verse claims that no evil will happen to the just, contrasting with Job 21:9's notion of the wicked being safe.
Proverbs 12:21: There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
Contradiction with Psalm 73:12
This verse supports the notion that the wicked seem to prosper, contrasting Job 21:9 which suggests the same but is in tension with ideas of divine justice in other parts of the Bible.
Psalm 73:12: Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase [in] riches.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:14
This verse discusses the seeming injustice of the righteous suffering while the wicked prosper, which contradicts the assurance of safety in Job 21:9.
Ecclesiastes 8:14: There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just [men], unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked [men], to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also [is] vanity.
Paradox #1
Job 21:9 talks about how the homes of wicked people are often safe from fear or trouble. The contradiction might be that elsewhere in the Bible, it is often said that wickedness leads to trouble and punishment. This could seem inconsistent because Job observes that sometimes wicked people live in peace, which doesn't align with the general biblical message that bad actions lead to bad outcomes.
