Paradox #1
The potential contradiction or conflict in this verse could come from the idea of taking advantage of others when they are vulnerable or in trouble. The verse warns against betraying or harming those who are in distress, but some may see a conflict if other parts of life or texts seem to suggest benefiting from such situations is acceptable. This could lead to confusion about when it's right to help or protect versus when one might seek personal advantage.
