Contradiction with Jeremiah 32:17

Jeremiah 32:17: Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, [and] there is nothing too hard for thee: [too...: or, hid from thee]

Contradiction with Isaiah 55:8-9

Isaiah 55:8-9 emphasizes God's ways being higher than human understanding, which can be seen at odds with Job 9:10's awe of God's incredible works by suggesting a distance, rather than imminence, in understanding.

Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

Contradiction with Genesis 18:14

Genesis 18:14 asserts that nothing is too wondrous for the Lord, reflecting God's capability in a manner that implies understanding, contrasting with Job 9:10's focus on the unknowability of God's works.

Genesis 18:14: Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

Contradiction with Romans 11:33

Romans 11:33 speaks of the unsearchable judgments and ways of God, resonating with Job 9:10 yet subtly differing by portraying the depth of God's wisdom rather than solely His works.

Romans 11:33: O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

Paradox #1

The potential contradiction in Job 9:10 could be that it speaks about God's wondrous and unsearchable actions, yet the speaker, Job, feels abandoned and unjustly treated by the same God. This creates a tension between acknowledging God's infinite wisdom and struggling with personal suffering and perceived injustice.
