Check out Contradictions Catalog of Job 36:32 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Job 36:32. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to the author of the Book of Job, God can cover the sun with clouds, making it dark. He controls the light and tells it when to shine or not shine.

Job 36:32: With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it [not to shine] by [the cloud] that cometh betwixt.

Contradiction with Exodus 9:29

Unlike in Job 36:32 where God's control over natural elements like lightning is described, in this verse, Moses speaks to Pharaoh and asserts that the earth belongs to the Lord but focuses on God's power to act after Moses' prayer, suggesting a condition for His intervention.

Exodus 9:29: And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; [and] the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth [is] the LORD'S.

Contradiction with Deuteronomy 32:39

This verse depicts God as solely in control of life and death, contrasting the selective control over elements like lightning described in Job 36:32.

Deuteronomy 32:39: See now that I, [even] I, [am] he, and [there is] no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither [is there any] that can deliver out of my hand.

Contradiction with Isaiah 45:7

This verse speaks of God creating calamity, suggesting broader control over both good and evil, which seems to contrast with the notion of control centered on a single aspect like lightning in Job 36:32.

Isaiah 45:7: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].

Contradiction with Amos 3:6

Here, God is implied as the cause of disaster as well as peace, which extends beyond the domain of natural phenomena like lightning that Job 36:32 focuses on.

Amos 3:6: Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done [it]? [be afraid: or, run together?] [the LORD...: or, shall not the LORD do somewhat?]

Contradiction with James 1:13

This verse notes that God cannot be tempted with evil, neither does He tempt any man, which contradicts a selective control that could include causing harm, as interpreted in some readings of Job 36:32.

James 1:13: Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [evil: or, evils]

Contradiction with Revelation 11:6

This verse asserts the power given to two witnesses to control the weather as God's agents, suggesting that God's control as depicted in Job 36:32 can be exercised by others as well.

Revelation 11:6: These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

Contradiction with Acts 14:17

This verse suggests that God leaves evidence of His goodness through nature, contrasting with a selective act upon a single natural phenomenon like lightning as noted in Job 36:32.

Acts 14:17: Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
