Contradictions and Paradoxes in Psalms 94:9

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Psalms 94:9 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Psalms 94:9. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to the author of Psalms, God is like a super powerful builder who made our ears and eyes, so He can surely hear everything we say and see everything we do. Christians believe this means God knows everything and is always watching over us.

Psalms 94:9: He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

Contradiction with Jeremiah 4:10

While Psalm 94:9 implies that God has awareness and understanding as He created ears and eyes, Jeremiah 4:10 suggests that the prophets felt deceived by God, implying a questioning of His awareness or truthfulness.

Jeremiah 4:10: Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.

Contradiction with Isaiah 6:9-10

This passage implies that God intentionally made people unable to see or hear and understand, contradicting the idea in Psalm 94:9 that God’s intention behind giving ears and eyes is understanding.

Isaiah 6:9-10: And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. [indeed, but understand: or, without ceasing, etc: Heb. in hearing, etc]

Contradiction with Matthew 13:13-15

This implies people are capable of having ears and eyes but not hearing or seeing, contradicting the Psalm that assumes God, having created ears and eyes, would ensure they are used for hearing and seeing.

Matthew 13:13-15: Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

Contradiction with Ezekiel 12:2

Suggests people have eyes but do not see and ears but do not hear because of rebellious nature, contradicting the notion that the Creator of ears and eyes ensures their proper functioning.

Ezekiel 12:2: Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they [are] a rebellious house.

Paradox #1

Psalms 94:9 talks about the idea that if God made the ability to hear and see, then God Himself must hear and see everything. A possible contradiction or inconsistency could be why, if God sees and hears everything, injustice and suffering still occur. Why would a knowing and seeing God allow bad things to happen if He is aware of them? This could be confusing for some people trying to reconcile their faith with the reality of the world.
