Contradiction with Deuteronomy 32:36
This verse also states that the Lord will judge and repent himself for his servants, which aligns with Psalms 135:14 rather than contradicts it.
Deuteronomy 32:36: For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that [their] power is gone, and [there is] none shut up, or left. [power: Heb. hand]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:11
This verse discusses the lack of immediate divine justice, implying a delay in vindication, which contrasts with a straightforward promise of judgment.
Ecclesiastes 8:11: Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Contradiction with Isaiah 1:15
Suggests that God will not listen to the cries of those who have turned away from him, indicating instances where God does not vindicate.
Isaiah 1:15: And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. [make...: Heb. multiply prayer] [blood: Heb. bloods]
Contradiction with Jeremiah 14:12
God refuses to accept the offerings of the people or show favor, which may imply a lack of vindication similar to Psalms 135:14.
Jeremiah 14:12: When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
Contradiction with Lamentations 3:44
Here, it suggests God hides himself, not offering vindication or listening to prayers, which can contrast the assurance in Psalms 135:14.
Lamentations 3:44: Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that [our] prayer should not pass through.
Contradiction with Hosea 4:6
The verse says people are destroyed for lack of knowledge and rejects them, implying instances where God doesn't vindicate or remember his servants.
Hosea 4:6: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. [destroyed: Heb. cut off]
Paradox #1
Psalms 135:14 states that God will have compassion on His people and vindicate them. A potential contradiction or inconsistency could be the idea of divine justice and compassion versus the observable injustices and suffering in the world. People might wonder why, despite this promise, many continue to experience hardship without apparent intervention, leading to questions about the nature of divine justice and fairness.
