Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 14:34
This verse instructs women to keep silence in churches, whereas Proverbs 31:1 records the words that a mother (a woman) taught her son, implying her voice and wisdom are valuable.
1 Corinthians 14:34: Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 2:12
This verse does not permit a woman to teach or have authority over a man, contradicting the implication in Proverbs 31:1 that a woman is teaching her son, imparting wisdom and guidance.
1 Timothy 2:12: But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
Paradox #1
Proverbs 31:1 refers to words spoken by King Lemuel, but there's no clear record or historical evidence of who King Lemuel was. This lack of information leads to questions about his identity and any historical connection, as he doesn't appear elsewhere in historical or biblical records.
