Contradiction with Genesis 1:31
Job 26:12 depicts God's greatness in conquering chaos (the sea), whereas Genesis 1:31 describes all of God's creation, including the sea, as "very good," implying harmony rather than chaos.
Genesis 1:31: And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. [And the evening...: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.]
Contradiction with Psalm 89:9
Job 26:12 suggests God's power in stilling the sea, whereas Psalm 89:9 also acknowledges God's control over the sea but in a context of ongoing protection and faithfulness, not just victory over chaos.
Psalm 89:9: Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
Contradiction with Isaiah 45:7
Job 26:12 presents God's triumph over the sea’s turmoil, whereas Isaiah 45:7 implies God creates both peace and adversity, suggesting control over all circumstances, not just triumph over struggle.
Isaiah 45:7: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
Paradox #1
The verse suggests that the sea or a large body of water can be calmed or controlled by divine action. Scientifically, while natural forces such as wind, pressure, and the gravitational pull of the moon affect the sea, there is no evidence of supernatural influence affecting these natural phenomena.
