Contradiction with Romans 8:28
This verse states that all things work together for good to those who love God, contradicting Job's fear and feeling of inevitable misfortune.
Romans 8:28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.
Contradiction with Matthew 6:34
This verse advises not to worry about tomorrow, emphasizing faith over fear, contrasting with Job's expression of dread and anticipation of disaster.
Matthew 6:34: Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is] the evil thereof.
Contradiction with Psalm 34:4
This verse speaks of seeking the Lord and being delivered from fears, opposing Job's experience of unrelieved fear and trouble.
Psalm 34:4: I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
Contradiction with Philippians 4:6-7
Encourages not being anxious but praying and being thankful, which is opposite to Job's distress and anxiety expressed in this verse.
Philippians 4:6-7: Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Paradox #1
The moral conflict in Job 3:25 arises from the idea that despite leading a righteous life and fearing God, Job still experiences significant suffering and misfortune, which seems unfair. This challenges the belief that good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people, creating a contradiction in the expectation of a direct relationship between one's actions and their outcomes.
