Contradiction with Job 38:24
This verse questions human understanding of natural phenomena, suggesting that only God knows how weather patterns work, potentially contradicting the implied human or natural mechanism in Job 37:11.
Job 38:24: By what way is the light parted, [which] scattereth the east wind upon the earth?
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 1:6
Describes cyclical wind patterns which could be seen as natural and regular, in contrast to the more divine or arbitrary control presented in Job 37:11.
Ecclesiastes 1:6: The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 11:5
States that human understanding of God's works, including weather, is limited, possibly conflicting with any implication that humans can comprehend weather in Job 37:11.
Ecclesiastes 11:5: As thou knowest not what [is] the way of the spirit, [nor] how the bones [do grow] in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
Contradiction with Psalm 135:7
Attributes direct control of weather phenomena to God, which might be at odds with a natural causation perspective of clouds and rain in Job 37:11.
Psalm 135:7: He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
Contradiction with Isaiah 55:10
Describes rain and snow as purposeful acts from God, differing from any implication of natural occurrence suggested in Job 37:11.
Isaiah 55:10: For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
Contradiction with Jeremiah 10:13
Credits God with direct influence over weather patterns, which may oppose an interpretation of indirect or natural processes as seen in Job 37:11.
Jeremiah 10:13: When he uttereth his voice, [there is] a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. [multitude: or, noise] [with: or, for]
Contradiction with Jeremiah 14:22
Affirms that no natural force can control rain, emphasizing divine intervention, contrary to any suggestion of natural process in Job 37:11.
Jeremiah 14:22: Are there [any] among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? [art] not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these [things].
Paradox #1
The potential scientific inconsistency with the verse is the explanation of how weather, like clouds and rain, is described. Scientifically, weather is understood through meteorological processes such as evaporation, condensation, and atmospheric pressure, rather than described through non-scientific interpretations.
