Contradiction with Proverbs 16:31
This verse states, "The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness." This suggests that respect is due to the aged who are righteous, rather than the youth, contradicting Job 29:8 where "the young men saw me, and hid themselves" implying Job's respect despite his age.
Proverbs 16:31: The hoary head [is] a crown of glory, [if] it be found in the way of righteousness.
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 4:12
This verse instructs, "Let no man despise thy youth," emphasizing respect for the youth, which contrasts with Job 29:8 where the young men hide themselves, showing deference to an older, respected Job.
1 Timothy 4:12: Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 11:9
This verse advises the young to "rejoice, O young man, in thy youth;" focusing on the joy and energy of youth, rather than showing deference to the older generation as suggested in Job 29:8.
Ecclesiastes 11:9: Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these [things] God will bring thee into judgment.
Contradiction with 1 Peter 5:5
The verse reads, "Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder." While this aligns with Job 29:8 in terms of respect, it also highlights an expectation rather than a natural reaction of fear or hiding.
1 Peter 5:5: Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
