Contradiction with Psalm 34:19
This verse states "Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all," acknowledging ongoing afflictions for the righteous, which might seem contradictory to the protection implied in Job 5:19.
Psalm 34:19: Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
Contradiction with 2 Timothy 3:12
"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution," suggesting that righteous individuals will face persecution, contrary to the protection theme in Job 5:19.
2 Timothy 3:12: Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
Contradiction with John 16:33
"In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world," indicating believers will experience tribulation, seemingly contradicting the assurance of deliverance without harm in Job 5:19.
John 16:33: These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:10
"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven," focusing on persecution as part of a righteous life, conflicting with the protection and rescue highlighted in Job 5:19.
Matthew 5:10: Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency in Job 5:19 could stem from the promise of deliverance from troubles, which might not match real-life experiences. While the verse suggests that faith assures protection from harm, in reality, even faithful individuals can face unresolved hardships. This can lead to questions about the reliability of such promises and why suffering persists despite faith.
