Contradiction with Exodus 20:14
This verse simply states, "Thou shalt not commit adultery," emphasizing the prohibition without suggesting it is a heinous crime as Job 31:11 describes.
Exodus 20:14: Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Contradiction with Leviticus 20:10
This verse prescribes the death penalty for adultery, suggesting that Job's description of it as a heinous crime is appropriate, rather than contradictory.
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 portrays adultery as lacking understanding, which does not necessarily align with Job's classification as a heinous crime deserving severe judgment.
Proverbs 6:32: [But] whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he [that] doeth it destroyeth his own soul. [understanding: Heb. heart]
Contradiction with John 8:7
This verse shows Jesus' response to an adulteress that emphasizes forgiveness and not condemnation, contradicting the severe consequences discussed in Job 31:11.
John 8:7: So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Paradox #1
This verse could be seen as morally inconsistent if it suggests a punishment or consequence that seems overly harsh or unforgiving for the behavior described. In today's context, some might argue that the prescribed response lacks compassion or understanding.
