Contradiction with Matthew 5:39
Encourages turning the other cheek, which contrasts with the expectation of consequences or punishment for wrathful actions implied in Proverbs 19:19.
Matthew 5:39: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Contradiction with Romans 12:19
Advises against taking revenge, whereas Proverbs 19:19 suggests dealing with a wrathful man by allowing natural consequences, suggesting a need for intervention.
Romans 12:19: Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Contradiction with Proverbs 15:1
Advocates for a gentle answer to turn away wrath, while Proverbs 19:19 implies not intervening to prevent wrath's consequences.
Proverbs 15:1: A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
Contradiction with James 1:19-20
Urges being slow to wrath, suggesting restraint and patience, which can be seen as contradictory to the implied idea in Proverbs 19:19 of letting a wrathful person face repercussions.
James 1:19-20: Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Contradiction with Psalm 37:8
Advises ceasing from anger and forsaking wrath, in contrast to Proverbs 19:19, which implies addressing the wrathful behavior by letting consequences occur.
Psalm 37:8: Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
Paradox #1
This verse might present a conflict with the concept of forgiveness and second chances emphasized in other parts of the Bible. It suggests letting a person face consequences rather than repeatedly rescuing them, which could be seen as contradicting the idea of unconditional support and redemption.
Paradox #2
This verse talks about the consequences of anger. The potential contradiction or conflict might be that while many teachings emphasize forgiveness and patience, this verse suggests letting someone face the results of their anger instead of constantly forgiving them. This might seem inconsistent with broader messages of unlimited forgiveness found elsewhere.
