Contradiction with Matthew 5:45
This verse states that God makes the sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust, suggesting that both the wicked and the righteous experience God's providence, contradicting Proverbs 10:29 which implies the way of the LORD is specifically a support for the upright and destruction to workers of iniquity.
Matthew 5:45: That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Contradiction with Psalm 73:3
This verse depicts the prosperity of the wicked, contradicting Proverbs 10:29’s implication that destruction is the path for workers of iniquity.
Psalm 73:3: For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Contradiction with Job 21:7-13
These verses describe how the wicked often live long, prosper, and experience joy, contradicting the idea in Proverbs 10:29 that their path leads to destruction.
Job 21:7-13: Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:14
This verse observes that righteous people sometimes get what the wicked deserve and vice versa, contradicting Proverbs 10:29's implication that the upright and wicked clearly receive distinct outcomes based on their ways.
Ecclesiastes 8:14: There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just [men], unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked [men], to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also [is] vanity.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 12:1
Jeremiah questions why the way of the wicked prospers, which contradicts the idea in Proverbs 10:29 that the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
Jeremiah 12:1: Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of [thy] judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? [wherefore] are all they happy that deal very treacherously? [talk...: or, reason the case with thee]
Paradox #1
This verse could be seen as conflicting because it suggests that God provides strength and protection to good people, while causing trouble for bad people. Some might argue this is inconsistent with the experiences of kind people who face hardships, and unkind people who lead good lives. This can lead to questions about fairness and the nature of justice.
