Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:14
This verse describes a situation where righteous people receive what the wicked deserve, and wicked people get what the righteous deserve, suggesting instability in moral order, which contradicts Proverbs 12:3's implication of the unstable nature of wickedness.
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.
