Contradiction with Romans 3:10
Romans 3:10 states "There is none righteous, no, not one," aligning with the theme of Micah 7:2, but lacks the specific societal context.
Romans 3:10: As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 7:20
Ecclesiastes 7:20 says "For there is not a just man upon earth," which seems to support Micah 7:2 rather than contradict it, yet it lacks the aspect of societal search for uprightness.
Ecclesiastes 7:20: For [there is] not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
Contradiction with Psalms 14:3
Psalms 14:3 claims "there is none that doeth good, no, not one," which resonates with Micah 7:2, yet focuses on human generality rather than a search.
Psalms 14:3: They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become filthy: [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one. [filthy: Heb. stinking]
Contradiction with Isaiah 57:1
Isaiah 57:1 talks about the righteous perishing and not being taken to heart, contrasting with Micah 7:2 as it implies there are indeed righteous individuals.
Isaiah 57:1: The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth [it] to heart: and merciful men [are] taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil [to come]. [merciful...: Heb. men of kindness, or, godliness] [from...: or, from that which is evil]
Paradox #1
Micah 7:2 describes a situation where faithful people are hard to find. A possible doctrinal conflict might be with verses that emphasize God's constant presence and support for the faithful, suggesting they should always be evident. However, the seeming scarcity of faithful people in Micah 7:2 might be seen as contradictory to the idea of a consistently present and supportive community of believers.
Paradox #2
Micah 7:2 expresses a situation where people feel there is no one righteous left and that everyone is looking out for themselves, leading to moral corruption. A contradiction could arise if someone believes that there are always some good people in the world and that redemption or righteousness is always possible. This verse may seem inconsistent with the idea that hope and goodness always persist in humanity.
