Contradiction with Proverbs 3:33
Unlike Job 27:23 which implies a sense of shame and dishonor upon the wicked, Proverbs 3:33 suggests that the curse of the Lord is upon the wicked, focusing on divine judgment rather than public scorn.
Proverbs 3:33: The curse of the LORD [is] in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
Contradiction with Romans 12:19
While Job 27:23 portrays people clapping and hissing in derision towards the wicked, Romans 12:19 advises against personal vengeance, emphasizing that judgment belongs to God, not humans.
Romans 12:19: Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:44
Job 27:23 depicts hostility towards the wicked, but Matthew 5:44 encourages loving enemies and praying for persecutors, advocating for compassion rather than ridicule.
Matthew 5:44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Contradiction with Ezekiel 33:11
This verse differs from the picture of disdain in Job 27:23 by expressing God's desire for the wicked to repent and live, emphasizing hope for redemption versus contempt.
Ezekiel 33:11: Say unto them, [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in this verse might arise from the idea of celebrating or mocking someone else's misfortune. It could be seen as inconsistent with other teachings in the Bible that emphasize compassion and empathy. This contrast can create tension between acting justly and maintaining a compassionate attitude towards others.
