Paradox #1
The contradiction in this verse could be that it supports the idea of teaching the wise, assuming that wisdom is static and that wise people need less guidance. This might conflict with the view that everyone, regardless of current wisdom, deserves the opportunity to learn and grow. This could lead to a belief that only certain people merit instruction, which might promote inequality in learning opportunities.
