Paradox #1
Job 24:23 can be seen as having a contradiction or inconsistency as it suggests that God provides security to some while they continue to do wrong, highlighting a tension between justice and mercy. This may seem unjust, as it appears that bad behavior is not immediately punished. This can lead to confusion about the moral structure of justice in the world.
