Contradiction with Psalm 77:16-19
While Job 9:8 attributes stretching out the heavens and treading on the sea to God alone, Psalm 77:16-19 suggests that God's presence in the waters is part of a collaborative portrayal of nature's response to Him, implying less exclusivity in action.
Psalm 77:16-19: The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
Contradiction with Isaiah 51:10
Job 9:8 emphasizes God's solitary action, but Isaiah 51:10 reflects on God parting the sea for Israel, highlighting an action involving His chosen people as participants.
Isaiah 51:10: [Art] thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
Contradiction with Matthew 14:25
In Job 9:8, walking on the sea is a divine action attributed to God alone, while in Matthew 14:25, Jesus walks on the sea, suggesting his divinity in the New Testament.
Matthew 14:25: And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
Contradiction with Exodus 14:21
Job 9:8 credits God singularly with spreading out the heavens and walking on the sea, whereas Exodus 14:21 describes God parting the sea through Moses, an act involving human agency.
Exodus 14:21: And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go [back] by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry [land], and the waters were divided.
Paradox #1
The contradiction could be in describing natural phenomena in a way that doesn't align with scientific understanding. In ancient texts, events like spreading out the sky or walking on the sea might have been described in ways not consistent with modern science's explanations of natural laws like gravity and physics.
