Contradiction with Proverbs 13:21
While Proverbs 21:7 suggests the destructive path of the wicked, Proverbs 13:21 indicates that evil pursues sinners, seemingly attributing the outcome to an external pursuit rather than internal actions.
Proverbs 13:21: Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.
Contradiction with Job 21:7-9
Proverbs 21:7 implies ruin for the wicked, but Job 21:7-9 questions why the wicked live long and prosper, directly challenging the idea of immediate or inevitable destruction.
Job 21:7-9: Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 7:15
Proverbs 21:7 suggests the downfall of the wicked, yet Ecclesiastes 7:15 observes that sometimes the wicked live long and the righteous perish, potentially contradicting the direct outcomes suggested.
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 Psalm 73:3-5
Proverbs 21:7 notes consequences for the wicked, while Psalm 73:3-5 describes the prosperity and health of the wicked, contradicting immediate negative consequences.
Psalm 73:3-5: For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
