Contradiction with Deuteronomy 28:12
Deuteronomy 28:12 promises that the Lord will open the heavens to bless all the work of your hands, which contradicts Micah 6:15 that describes futility in labor.
Deuteronomy 28:12: The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
Contradiction with Proverbs 10:22
Proverbs 10:22 states that the blessing of the Lord makes one rich and adds no sorrow with it, which contrasts with the fruitless toil mentioned in Micah 6:15.
Proverbs 10:22: The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
Contradiction with Psalm 126:5
Psalm 126:5 declares that those who sow in tears shall reap in joy, opposing the idea in Micah 6:15 that planting does not result in harvesting joy.
Psalm 126:5: They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. [joy: or, singing]
Contradiction with Galatians 6:7
Galatians 6:7 speaks about reaping what one sows, which contradicts Micah 6:15 where sowing does not lead to expected harvesting.
Galatians 6:7: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Contradiction with Isaiah 65:21-22
Isaiah 65:21-22 promises that God's people will build houses and dwell in them and plant vineyards and eat their fruit, which is the opposite of Micah 6:15’s message of fruitless efforts.
Isaiah 65:21-22: And they shall build houses, and inhabit [them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
Contradiction with Psalm 128:2
Psalm 128:2 promises that you shall eat the labor of your hands and be happy, conflicting with Micah 6:15 where work does not result in consumption or satisfaction.
Psalm 128:2: For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy [shalt] thou [be], and [it shall be] well with thee.
Contradiction with Philippians 4:19
Philippians 4:19 assures that God will supply all needs, which is inconsistent with Micah 6:15's depiction of unfulfilled effort.
Philippians 4:19: But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Contradiction with Isaiah 3:10
Isaiah 3:10 proclaims that it shall be well with the righteous and they shall eat the fruit of their doings, which stands against the scenario in Micah 6:15.
Isaiah 3:10: Say ye to the righteous, that [it shall be] well [with him]: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
Paradox #1
Micah 6:15 might suggest a contradiction by highlighting the idea that people can work hard but not enjoy the fruits of their labor, which seems unfair. This could conflict with the notion that effort and reward are closely connected, creating tension between justice and experience.
