Contradiction with Isaiah 25:8
This verse talks about God swallowing up death forever and wiping away all tears, contrasting with the cruel and final view of death in Job 24:20.
Isaiah 25:8: He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken [it].
Contradiction with Revelation 21:4

Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 15:54-55
These verses describe victory over death and its eradication, opposing the bleak portrayal of death's permanence in Job 24:20.
1 Corinthians 15:54-55: So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in Job 24:20 arises from the idea that wicked people seem to escape punishment and that the natural order seems indifferent to justice. The contradiction is in the expectation that the moral universe should see wrongdoing punished and righteousness rewarded, but the verse suggests otherwise, challenging the belief in a just and moral order.
