Contradiction with Psalm 37:9
While Job 27:13 speaks to the fate of the wicked as predetermined, Psalm 37:9 suggests that evildoers are temporarily cut off, rather than a specific inheritance of suffering or doom.
Psalm 37:9: For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:14
Ecclesiastes reflects on righteous people receiving what the wicked deserve and vice versa, contradicting the certainty of punishment for the wicked implied in Job 27:13.
Ecclesiastes 8:14: There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just [men], unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked [men], to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also [is] vanity.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 12:1
Jeremiah questions why the wicked prosper, which stands in contrast to Job's claim of consistent suffering for them.
Jeremiah 12:1: Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of [thy] judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? [wherefore] are all they happy that deal very treacherously? [talk...: or, reason the case with thee]
Contradiction with Habakkuk 1:13
Habakkuk speaks of the wicked being allowed to swallow up those more righteous, contradicting the notion of a sure fate for the wicked as described in Job.
Habakkuk 1:13: [Thou art] of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, [and] holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth [the man that is] more righteous than he? [iniquity: or, grievance]
Contradiction with Matthew 5:45
Jesus points out that God makes the sun rise and rain fall on both the just and unjust, opposing the idea of an exclusive fate for the wicked.
Matthew 5:45: That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Contradiction with Luke 12:19-20
The parable of the rich fool suggests unexpected judgment for the wicked, rather than a predetermined path as outlined in Job 27:13.
Luke 12:19-20: And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, [and] be merry.
Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:9
The verse conveys God's patience, not wanting anyone to perish, contrary to the predetermined suffering mentioned in Job.
2 Peter 3:9: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Paradox #1
Job 27:13 talks about the fate of the wicked. Some might see a contradiction when compared with other parts of the Bible that suggest both the wicked and the good can suffer in this life. For instance, the Book of Ecclesiastes and parts of the New Testament indicate that bad things can happen to good people, and good things can happen to bad people. The possible inconsistency lies in how different parts of the Bible describe the experiences and outcomes for the wicked and the righteous in this world.
Paradox #2
The contradiction in that verse could be seen in the idea of divine justice. It suggests that bad things happen to wicked people as a form of punishment. However, in real life, we often see good people suffering while some bad people enjoy prosperity. This might seem inconsistent with the message that the wicked always face consequences within their lifetime.
