Contradiction with 2 Chronicles 16:9
This verse states that the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, contradicting the idea in Job 22:14 that God is hidden or does not see beneath the clouds.
2 Chronicles 16:9: For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of [them] whose heart [is] perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars. [to shew...: or, strongly to hold with them, etc]
Contradiction with Psalm 139:7-8
These verses suggest God's omnipresence, contradicting Job 22:14's implication that God is removed or secluded in the heavens.
Psalm 139:7-8: Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
Contradiction with Proverbs 15:3
This verse states that the eyes of the LORD are in every place, contrary to Job 22:14's idea that God is limited to the heavens.
Proverbs 15:3: The eyes of the LORD [are] in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 23:24
This verse claims that God fills heaven and earth, suggesting God's omnipresence, which contradicts Job 22:14's view of God being hidden by the clouds.
Jeremiah 23:24: Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
Paradox #1
The perceived theological conflict in the verse is that it suggests God is far off and does not see human actions, which contradicts other parts of the Bible that emphasize God's omnipresence and omniscience, meaning that God is always present and aware of everything.
Paradox #2
The potential contradiction with Job 22:14 might be in how it presents a view of God as distant and not involved with the world. This could conflict with other parts of the Bible that describe God as actively watching over and caring for His creation.
Paradox #3
The verse suggests that God is distant and not concerned with human affairs, which can conflict with other parts of the Bible that emphasize God's closeness and involvement in people's lives. This inconsistency might confuse readers about the nature of God's relationship with humanity.
