Contradiction with James 2:17
This verse emphasizes faith by works, implying that simply rescuing others without true faith is insufficient, potentially contradicting the call to action in Proverbs 24:11.
James 2:17: Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. [alone: Gr. by itself]
Contradiction with Matthew 10:14
This verse advises to move on when not received, which might contradict the proactive effort to save those being led to death described in Proverbs 24:11.
Matthew 10:14: And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Contradiction with Nahum 1:2
This verse speaks to God's vengeance, contrasting with the directive of Proverbs 24:11 to intervene and rescue without seeking retribution.
Nahum 1:2: God [is] jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and [is] furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth [wrath] for his enemies. [God...: or, The LORD is a jealous God, and a revenger, etc] [is furious: Heb. that hath fury]
Contradiction with Proverbs 9:7-8
Advises against correcting a scorner, potentially conflicting with rescuing those in dire situations without hesitation as advised in Proverbs 24:11.
Proverbs 9:7-8: He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked [man getteth] himself a blot.
Paradox #1
Proverbs 24:11 emphasizes the duty to rescue those in danger. A contradiction or conflict might arise if one considers situations where intervening could cause harm to the rescuer or affect others negatively. Balancing the act of saving someone against potential negative outcomes for oneself or others might create a moral dilemma.
