Contradiction with Proverbs 19:17
This verse states that he who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, which opposes the curse in Psalms 109:11 regarding the lender seizing all that a borrower has.
Proverbs 19:17: He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. [that which...: or, his deed]
Contradiction with Matthew 5:42
This verse encourages giving to those who ask and not turning away from those who want to borrow, contradicting the desire for creditors in Psalms 109:11.
Matthew 5:42: Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Contradiction with Luke 6:35
This verse instructs to lend without expecting anything in return, conflicting with the adversarial and oppressive lending described in Psalms 109:11.
Luke 6:35: But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and [to] the evil.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 15:7-8
These verses command generosity and open-handedness towards the needy, contrary to the seizing intent in Psalms 109:11.
Deuteronomy 15:7-8: If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:
Contradiction with Romans 12:20
This verse encourages providing for one's enemy in need, opposing the intent of further impoverishing someone as in Psalms 109:11.
Romans 12:20: Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Paradox #1
Psalms 109:11 calls for harsh outcomes for one's enemies, which can seem inconsistent with New Testament teachings of forgiveness and love for one's enemies, as emphasized by Jesus. This contradiction arises from the differing contexts and messages between the Old and New Testaments.
Paradox #2
Psalms 109:11 talks about wishing harm on someone else's prosperity or possessions. The potential contradiction here could be that it seems to go against the broader teachings of love, forgiveness, and compassion that are emphasized in other parts of the Bible. It's about wishing bad things for others, which conflicts with the idea of loving your neighbor.
