Contradiction with Psalm 37:25
This verse states that the righteous are not forsaken, which contradicts the assertion that calamity is for the wicked, implying the righteous may face adversity too.

Contradiction with Matthew 5:45

Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:14
This verse indicates that sometimes the righteous suffer what the wicked deserve, contradicting Job 31:3 by blurring the lines of retribution.
Ecclesiastes 8:14: There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just [men], unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked [men], to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also [is] vanity.
Contradiction with Psalm 73:3-5

Psalm 73:3-5: For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Paradox #1
Job 31:3 discusses the idea of punishment or calamity coming to the wicked and those who do wrong. A potential contradiction could be: if misfortune only comes to those who do bad things, why do good people sometimes suffer while bad people seem to prosper? This raises questions about justice and fairness in the world.
