Amos 5:8: [Seek him] that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD [is] his name:

Paradox #1

Historical contradictions or inconsistencies with this verse may stem from its references to celestial constellations. Ancient understandings of astronomy were limited, and different cultures had various interpretations of the skies. This could lead to differing views on how constellations influence earthly events or their significance, creating inconsistency with modern scientific knowledge.

Paradox #2

Job 38:32 refers to the constellations and their movements. The verse might be seen as inconsistent with modern astronomy because it implies these movements are directed or controlled in a way different from our understanding of natural celestial mechanics. Modern science explains the movement of stars and planets through gravity and astronomy, not as a process directed by any particular influence besides natural forces.
