Contradiction with Proverbs 21:2
This verse states, "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts," suggesting that God does not simply deliver judgments based on external equality but evaluates the heart, potentially differing from a notion of ‘equal’ judgment.
Proverbs 21:2: Every way of a man [is] right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.
Contradiction with Romans 2:11
This verse notes, "For there is no respect of persons with God," which might be taken to contradict the idea of "things that are equal," implying that God's judgment transcends equal treatment in human terms.
Romans 2:11: For there is no respect of persons with God.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:11
In this verse, "…but time and chance happeneth to them all," suggesting the outcomes are not based purely on divine fairness or equality, but also on unpredictable elements of time and chance, which may contradict the notion of inherent equality in judgment.
Ecclesiastes 9:11: I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Contradiction with Matthew 20:14-15
This passage reflects the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard, emphasizing divine graciousness rather than equal treatment, potentially contrasting with the desire for "equal" observation in Psalm 17:2.
Matthew 20:14-15: Take [that] thine [is], and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
