Contradiction with Psalm 37:23

Contradiction with Proverbs 10:9

Paradox #1
Proverbs 28:10 suggests that those who lead others astray will fall into their own traps, while the innocent will enjoy good things. A potential contradiction or inconsistency might arise when comparing this idea with situations in the Bible where the wicked seem to prosper or go unpunished, like in some Psalms or the Book of Job, where righteous people suffer despite their innocence. This could create a tension between the expectation of immediate justice and real-world experiences of delayed or unseen justice.
