Contradiction with James 4:14
While Job 9:26 describes life passing quickly like a swift ship, James 4:14 describes life as a vapor, appearing for a short time and vanishing away, which aligns in imagery rather than contradicts.
James 4:14: Whereas ye know not what [shall be] on the morrow. For what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. [It...: or, For it is]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:2
Job 9:26 speaks of life's swiftness, while Ecclesiastes 9:2 suggests a certain fate for all, regardless of life's speed, seemingly emphasizing inevitability rather than swiftness.
Ecclesiastes 9:2: All [things come] alike to all: [there is] one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as [is] the good, so [is] the sinner; [and] he that sweareth, as [he] that feareth an oath.
Contradiction with Psalm 103:15-16
These verses align more with the metaphor of fleeting life, highlighting human frailty and transient existence, rather than contradicting Job 9:26.
Psalm 103:15-16: [As for] man, his days [are] as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
