Contradiction with Jeremiah 12:1
While Psalms 145:17 states that the Lord is righteous in all His ways, Jeremiah questions why the wicked prosper, implying a perceived inequality in God's ways.
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 Job 21:7
Job wonders why the wicked live and become old, contradicting the idea of God being righteous in all His dealings as expressed in Psalms 145:17.
Job 21:7: Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
Contradiction with Habakkuk 1:13
Habakkuk is perplexed as to why God tolerates the treacherous and remains silent when the wicked swallow up the more righteous, challenging the notion of God's righteousness found in Psalms 145:17.
Habakkuk 1:13: [Thou art] of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, [and] holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth [the man that is] more righteous than he? [iniquity: or, grievance]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:14
The verse describes an apparent injustice where the righteous receive what the wicked deserve and vice versa, which seems to contradict the righteousness of God's actions as stated in Psalms 145:17.
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 Psalm 73:3
The psalmist admits envy of the arrogant when he saw the prosperity of the wicked, which contradicts the idea that God's ways are wholly righteous as in Psalms 145:17.
Psalm 73:3: For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Paradox #1
Psalms 145:17 emphasizes God's righteousness and kindness. A possible contradiction might arise when comparing this verse to instances in the Bible where God's actions or commands seem harsh or severe, leading to questions about how these actions align with a consistently righteous and loving nature.
Paradox #2
Psalms 145:17 speaks of the righteousness and kindness of God in all his ways. A potential contradiction might arise when considering the presence of suffering and injustice in the world. Some people might question how everything can be right and kind if there is widespread pain and unfairness. This could be seen as inconsistent with the idea of a purely just and benevolent deity.
