Contradiction with Psalm 118:8
This verse emphasizes trusting in the Lord rather than fearing man, similar to Proverbs 29:25, thus not directly contradicting it.
Psalm 118:8: [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:5
This verse also emphasizes not trusting in man, aligning with the essence of Proverbs 29:25 rather than contradicting it.
Jeremiah 17:5: Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency could be that, while this verse encourages trust in a higher power for safety, it might conflict with the idea that individuals should also rely on their own judgment, actions, and practical measures to ensure their safety and well-being.
