Paradox #1
This verse expresses a rejection of idolatry. A possible contradiction or inconsistency might be observed when comparing this with the behaviors of some Biblical figures or Israelites at various times, who worshipped idols despite scriptural condemnations. However, as this is more an example of human inconsistency than a textual contradiction, it may not directly conflict with the scripture itself. If you're looking for specific contradicting texts, it often revolves around human actions versus divine commandments.
Paradox #2
This verse talks about rejecting false idols and putting trust in God. The contradiction might arise if someone values religious tolerance and respects all forms of worship, as this verse suggests disregarding other beliefs or practices. This can be seen as inconsistent with the idea of accepting diverse religious views.
