Contradiction with Proverbs 11:21
This verse says, "Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished," which contradicts Psalms 32:10 indicating that the wicked will face consequences rather than just experiencing sorrows.
Proverbs 11:21: [Though] hand [join] in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
Contradiction with Exodus 20:5
This verse speaks of God visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, which contrasts with Psalms 32:10 that suggests the sorrows are direct to the individual wicked rather than generational.
Exodus 20:5: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;
Contradiction with Job 21:7
This verse questions why the wicked live and become old and mighty in power, challenging Psalms 32:10 which suggests sorrows instead of prosperity for the wicked.
Job 21:7: Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 7:15
This verse points out that a wicked person can sometimes prolong life, contradicting Psalms 32:10 which associates sorrows with the wicked.
Ecclesiastes 7:15: All [things] have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just [man] that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked [man] that prolongeth [his life] in his wickedness.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 12:1
This verse raises a question about why the wicked prosper, seemingly at odds with the notion in Psalms 32:10 where the wicked experience many sorrows.
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 Psalm 73:3-5
This passage describes the prosperity of the wicked, further emphasizing a contradiction with Psalms 32:10 which ties wickedness directly to experiencing sorrows.
Psalm 73:3-5: For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Contradiction with Habakkuk 1:13
This verse questions why God remains silent while the wicked devour those more righteous than themselves, presenting a conflict with Psalms 32:10's indication of inherent sorrows for wickedness.
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]
Paradox #1
Psalms 32:10 suggests that people who do wrong will face many problems, but people who trust in God will be surrounded by love. The contradiction might be that not everyone who trusts in God feels loved or protected; some may still face hardships. This could seem unfair or inconsistent with the message.
