Contradiction with Proverbs 10:27
Proverbs 14:27 speaks of the fear of the Lord as a fountain of life, suggesting longevity and avoidance of snares, whereas Proverbs 10:27 states that the fear of the Lord prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened, which implies a more direct link between righteousness and longevity without mentioning snares.
Proverbs 10:27: The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. [prolongeth: Heb. addeth]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 7:15
Proverbs 14:27 implies that the fear of the Lord brings life and avoids traps, while Ecclesiastes 7:15 observes that a righteous person can perish despite righteousness and a wicked person might live long, questioning the straightforwardness of outcomes tied to fear of the Lord.
Ecclesiastes 7:15: All [things] have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just [man] that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked [man] that prolongeth [his life] in his wickedness.
Contradiction with Isaiah 57:1
Proverbs 14:27 suggests that the fear of the Lord provides a protective element, avoiding snares of death, yet Isaiah 57:1 notes that righteous people can perish and be taken away without being understood, indicating a lack of guaranteed earthly security.
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]
