Contradiction with Proverbs 3:12
This verse highlights that God disciplines those He loves as a father does a son, whereas Job 36:8 suggests captivity means God’s discipline explicitly in the context of the wicked.
Proverbs 3:12: For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son [in whom] he delighteth.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:2
This verse suggests that the same fate happens to all, both righteous and wicked, while Job 36:8 implies specific consequences (captivity) for particular sins.
Ecclesiastes 9:2: All [things come] alike to all: [there is] one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as [is] the good, so [is] the sinner; [and] he that sweareth, as [he] that feareth an oath.
Contradiction with Psalm 73:12
It describes how wicked people prosper and are not punished or bound, in contrast to Job 36:8, which suggests they are bound because of transgressions.
Psalm 73:12: Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase [in] riches.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 12:1
Questions why the wicked prosper, seemingly contradicting Job 36:8 where affliction is seen as a result of their deeds.
Jeremiah 12:1: Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of [thy] judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? [wherefore] are all they happy that deal very treacherously? [talk...: or, reason the case with thee]
Contradiction with Malachi 3:15
This verse notes the blessed state of evildoers, contradicting the notion in Job 36:8 of binding them due to their transgressions.
Malachi 3:15: And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, [they that] tempt God are even delivered. [are set up: Heb. are built]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:14
Discusses how the righteous receive what the wicked deserve and vice versa, contradicting with the clear-cut justice suggested in Job 36:8.
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 37:35
Observes the prosperity of the wicked, which opposes the idea in Job 36:8 where punishments such as bonds are strictly applied to them.
Psalm 37:35: I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. [a green...: or, a green tree that groweth in his own soil]
Contradiction with Habakkuk 1:13
This verse questions why God allows the treacherous to live without punishment, conflicting with the interpretation of explicit consequences in Job 36:8.
Habakkuk 1:13: [Thou art] of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, [and] holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth [the man that is] more righteous than he? [iniquity: or, grievance]
