According to the author of the Book of Job, God helps people who are sad and having a tough time, and He helps them learn and understand when things are hard.

Job 36:15: He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression. [poor: or, afflicted]

Contradiction with Proverbs 3:12

It states that the Lord corrects those He loves, like a father the son, implying discipline as an act of care rather than oppression.

Proverbs 3:12: For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son [in whom] he delighteth.

Contradiction with 1 Peter 5:10

This verse states that after suffering, God will perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle the sufferer, indicating a process leading to growth which contrasts the notion of immediate deliverance in Job 36:15.

1 Peter 5:10: But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you].

Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 12:9

Paul speaks of God’s grace being sufficient in weakness, which implies that enduring affliction can be a position of strength, contrary to Job 36:15's focus on being delivered.

2 Corinthians 12:9: And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Paradox #1

The potential moral conflict in this verse could lie in the idea that suffering or being oppressed leads to positive outcomes or enlightenment. Some might see this as suggesting that enduring hardship is necessary or beneficial, which might be difficult to reconcile with the view that suffering should be alleviated or prevented whenever possible.
