Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 1:4

This verse mentions that the earth abides forever, contradicting Job 9:6, which implies that the earth can be shaken from its place.

Ecclesiastes 1:4: [One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

Contradiction with Isaiah 45:18

This verse asserts that God formed the earth to be inhabited and not created it in vain, implying stability, contrary to the notion of it being shaken in Job 9:6.

Isaiah 45:18: For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else.

Contradiction with Psalm 16:8

Implies steadfastness as it states that because God is at the right hand, one shall not be moved, contradicting the portrayal of upheaval in Job 9:6.

Psalm 16:8: I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Paradox #1

The contradiction or issue with Job 9:6 may arise from the description of God shaking the earth or moving its foundations. This could conflict with a scientific understanding of the Earth's structure, as the Earth doesn't have literal "foundations" that can be moved. However, it's important to note that these descriptions are often seen as metaphorical, conveying the power of God rather than a literal geological explanation.

Paradox #2

The contradiction could be related to the description of natural phenomena from a scientific perspective. The verse suggests that the Earth rests upon nothing and is made to shake or tremble. Scientifically, earthquakes are explained by plate tectonics, not as if the Earth itself is suspended or moved in the way described in ancient texts.
