Contradiction with Psalm 3:3
Lamentations 3:29 speaks of humility and submission, suggesting putting one's mouth in the dust as a sign of hope, whereas Psalm 3:3 depicts God as a shield and lifter of one's head, implying dignity and raising above despair.
Psalm 3:3: But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. [for: or, about]
Paradox #1
Lamentations 3:29 may raise questions about the act of humility or submission in difficult situations. Some might see it as conflicting with the belief in standing up against injustice or adversity. It may seem inconsistent with the idea of active faith or resistance. However, these interpretations depend on context and theological perspective.
Paradox #2
Some people might see a contradiction in this verse because it suggests submission to suffering or humiliation, which might be seen as conflicting with ideas about self-worth or protection from harm. It could be argued that this contradicts the belief that individuals should stand up against injustice or preserve their dignity.
