Contradiction with Matthew 19:26
This verse suggests that only God can do all things, contrasting Job 28:9's depiction of human ability.
Matthew 19:26: But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Contradiction with Isaiah 40:22
Depicts God as stretching out the heavens, emphasizing divine power over creation, contradicting the human actions described in Job 28:9.
Isaiah 40:22: [It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: [It is...: or, Him that]
Contradiction with Psalm 115:16
Indicates that the heavens belong to God but the earth is given to man, contrasting the idea of man's ability to physically alter creation as seen in Job 28:9.
Psalm 115:16: The heaven, [even] the heavens, [are] the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
Contradiction with Isaiah 45:9
Warns against contending with the Maker, highlighting divine sovereignty over creation, which contrasts with man's capacity to change creation as in Job 28:9.
Isaiah 45:9: Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! [Let] the potsherd [strive] with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
Paradox #1
The contradiction in this verse could relate to the idea of humans influencing or altering geological features like mountains with their hands. Scientifically, moving or tipping mountains is beyond human capability and requires understanding of geological processes such as plate tectonics, which operate on a much larger time scale and involve forces beyond human control.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or conflict in the idea expressed in that verse could be the contrast between human capabilities and divine control. It touches on the tension between human pride in technological achievements or manipulation of nature and the acknowledgment of divine power and wisdom. Humans might feel empowered to alter and dominate their environment, but this could be seen as conflicting with the belief in relying on or respecting divine guidance and authority.
