Contradiction with James 2:9
This verse suggests that showing partiality is sin, which may contradict with the idea of fairness emphasized in Job 34:19 if interpreted differently.
James 2:9: But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
Contradiction with Romans 2:11
States that there is no respect of persons with God, which aligns rather than contradicts, unless Job 34:19 is interpreted as God honoring certain statuses.
Romans 2:11: For there is no respect of persons with God.
Contradiction with Acts 10:34
Affirms God's impartiality, potentially contradicting Job 34:19 if seen as God considering people's rank.
Acts 10:34: Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 10:17
Indicates that God shows no partiality, similar line to Job 34:19, but could be seen as contradictory if Job is viewed differently.
Deuteronomy 10:17: For the LORD your God [is] God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:
Contradiction with Proverbs 24:23
Warns against showing partiality, aligning with Job 34:19 unless viewed in contrast regarding specific contexts.
Proverbs 24:23: These [things] also [belong] to the wise. [It is] not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
Paradox #1
The potential theological conflict with Job 34:19 might relate to the idea of God's impartiality, as the verse suggests that God does not show favoritism toward the rich or powerful over the poor. Some might see this as inconsistent with biblical stories where certain individuals or nations seem to receive special favor or treatment from God. This could raise questions about the nature of divine justice and how it is applied.
Paradox #2
The potential moral inconsistency in Job 34:19 could be the idea that God shows no favoritism, yet people may observe or feel that favoritism does exist in life, with some individuals seemingly receiving more blessings or justice than others. This could lead to questions about the fairness of divine treatment and justice.
