Contradiction with Exodus 20:14
This verse commands not to commit adultery, contradicting Job 31:10, where Job speaks hypothetically about his wife engaging with another man as a consequence.
Exodus 20:14: Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:28
This verse highlights that even looking at a woman with lust is akin to committing adultery in the heart, which contrasts with Job 31:10's implied physical infidelity.
Matthew 5:28: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Contradiction with Leviticus 20:10
This verse prescribes the punishment for adultery, which creates a contradiction with Job 31:10's hypothetical scenario without specific mention of consequence.
Leviticus 20:10: And the man that committeth adultery with [another] man's wife, [even he] that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
Contradiction with Proverbs 6:32
This verse states that whoever commits adultery lacks understanding, contradicting the consequence-based logic of Job 31:10.
Proverbs 6:32: [But] whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he [that] doeth it destroyeth his own soul. [understanding: Heb. heart]
Paradox #1
Job 31:10 could present a moral inconsistency because it implies a punishment involving another person's actions (specifically, a woman), reflecting societal norms of the time that may conflict with contemporary values about autonomy and consent.
