Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in this verse could be about fairness and responsibility. The verse implies that it is right to gain profit from another person's work or resources, which might conflict with the idea of fairness and earning based on one's efforts. Some may see this as inconsistent with the moral teaching of working hard for one's own success.
