2 Timothy 3:12: Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
Contradiction with John 16:33
Proverbs 11:8 illustrates deliverance for the righteous, but John 16:33 states that in the world, believers will have tribulation.

Contradiction with Job 5:7
Proverbs 11:8 suggests rescue from trouble, whereas Job 5:7 mentions man is born to trouble, implying its inevitability for all.

Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 7:15
Proverbs 11:8 describes deliverance for the just, yet Ecclesiastes 7:15 observes that righteous people perish despite their righteousness.

Paradox #1
Proverbs 11:8 might raise a moral conflict by suggesting that righteous people will always be rescued from trouble, implying that anyone who suffers must not be righteous. This could contradict real-world experiences where good people face hardships and bad people sometimes thrive, leading to questions about fairness and justice.
