Proverbs 16:33: The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof [is] of the LORD.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:11
This verse implies that events are not always determined by fair means, as time and chance happen to all, suggesting that casting lots might not ensure a just result.
Ecclesiastes 9:11: I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:9

Matthew 5:9: Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 14:33
This verse indicates that God is not the author of confusion, suggesting that reliance on lots could lead to discord rather than clarity.
1 Corinthians 14:33: For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. [confusion: Gr. tumult, or, unquietness]
