Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:14
This verse discusses the fact that righteous people do not always receive rewards for their righteousness, which contradicts Psalms 58:11's assertion that righteous is rewarded on earth.
Ecclesiastes 8:14: There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just [men], unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked [men], to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also [is] vanity.
Contradiction with Job 21:7-9
These verses describe how wicked people often prosper and live long lives, contradicting the idea in Psalms 58:11 that the righteous are rewarded and the wicked judged.
Job 21:7-9: Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
Contradiction with Jeremiah 12:1
Jeremiah questions why the wicked prosper, directly contradicting the notion in Psalms 58:11 that there is a reward for the righteous and punishment for the wicked.
Jeremiah 12:1: Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of [thy] judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? [wherefore] are all they happy that deal very treacherously? [talk...: or, reason the case with thee]
Contradiction with Psalms 73:3-5
These verses observe the prosperity and trouble-free lives of the wicked, countering the message of retribution and reward in Psalms 58:11.
Psalms 73:3-5: For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Contradiction with Malachi 3:15
Here, the prophet states that those who do evil seem to be blessed and escape punishment, which goes against the theme of divine justice seen in Psalms 58:11.
Malachi 3:15: And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, [they that] tempt God are even delivered. [are set up: Heb. are built]
Paradox #1
Psalms 58:11 discusses the joy of seeing justice done when the righteous are rewarded and the wicked are punished. A possible doctrinal conflict might arise when considering verses that emphasize forgiveness and mercy, such as those teaching to love enemies or to leave vengeance to God. It could seem inconsistent to celebrate the downfall of the wicked while also being instructed to forgive and show compassion.
Paradox #2
Psalms 58:11 talks about people seeing justice done and being rewarded for living righteously. However, some might see a contradiction in real life because sometimes bad people seem to succeed while good people suffer. This could lead to questioning the fairness and consistency of justice as described.
