Contradiction with Exodus 20:15
This verse states "Thou shalt not steal," which contrasts with the actions described in Job 24:2 about removing landmarks and stealing livestock.
Exodus 20:15: Thou shalt not steal.
Contradiction with Proverbs 22:28
This verse advises not to remove ancient landmarks, directly contradicting Job 24:2 where landmarks are removed.
Proverbs 22:28: Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. [landmark: or, bound]
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 19:14
This verse commands not to remove a neighbor's landmark, contradicting the removal of landmarks in Job 24:2.
Deuteronomy 19:14: Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
Contradiction with Hosea 5:10
This verse condemns those who move boundaries, aligning with Job 24:2 but framing it negatively, thus contradicting any acceptance of the act.
Hosea 5:10: The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: [therefore] I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
Paradox #1
Job 24:2 talks about people moving boundary stones to take land that isn’t theirs. The moral conflict here could be that while the Bible generally teaches respect for others' property and fairness, this verse highlights wrongful actions that seem to persist without immediate consequence. It raises questions about justice and why wrongdoers sometimes appear to get away with it, which can be confusing when trying to understand fairness and divine justice.
