Paradox #1
Psalms 10:3 suggests that people who are greedy or boastful might end up rejecting or dismissing God. The moral conflict here can be that while society often celebrates success and ambition, this verse warns that such traits can lead to turning away from spiritual values. This creates a tension between achieving personal success and staying true to spiritual humility.
