Check out Contradictions Catalog of Job 41:29 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Job 41:29. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to the author of the book of Job, this verse means that powerful creatures like the sea monster God made are not afraid of arrows or spears because these weapons are too weak for them. It shows how strong and amazing some of God's creations are, and they don't worry about human weapons.

Job 41:29: Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

Contradiction with Psalm 18:34

This verse describes God teaching hands to war, suggesting strength and the ability to break a bow of steel, which contrasts with Job 41:29, where weapons are described as ineffective.

Psalm 18:34: He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

Contradiction with 2 Samuel 22:35

Similar to Psalm 18:34, this verse speaks of God equipping someone to break a bow of steel, again contradicting the invulnerability suggested in Job 41:29.

2 Samuel 22:35: He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. [to war: Heb. for the war]

Contradiction with Jeremiah 51:20

This verse depicts a nation as God's weapon of war to shatter others, implying effectiveness of weaponry, contrary to Job 41:29.

Jeremiah 51:20: Thou [art] my battle axe [and] weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; [with thee: or, in thee, or, by thee]

Contradiction with Psalm 44:6

Here, reliance on weapons is denied with a focus on God's deliverance, suggesting a alternate view of weapon efficacy than that seen in Job 41:29.

Psalm 44:6: For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

Contradiction with Isaiah 2:4

This passage envisions a time when weapons will be rendered useless or obsolete, which could be seen as a contrast to the specific impotence of weapons described in Job 41:29.

Isaiah 2:4: And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. [pruninghooks: or, scythes]
