Contradiction with Exodus 34:7
While Psalms 33:5 emphasizes God's love and justice, Exodus 34:7 mentions that God will not clear the guilty, suggesting a harsher consequence despite God's love.
Exodus 34:7: Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth [generation].
Contradiction with Isaiah 45:7
Psalms 33:5 focuses on the earth being full of God's goodness, whereas Isaiah 45:7 states that God creates both peace and evil, highlighting a dual nature.
Isaiah 45:7: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
Contradiction with Lamentations 3:38
Psalms 33:5 discusses God's goodness, but Lamentations 3:38 questions whether evil can come from God, implying that everything from God is not necessarily good.
Lamentations 3:38: Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
Contradiction with Romans 9:18
Psalms 33:5 showcases God’s love and justice, yet Romans 9:18 mentions God having mercy on whom He wills and hardening others, which could seem arbitrary.
Romans 9:18: Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will [have mercy], and whom he will he hardeneth.
Paradox #1
The moral conflict in Psalms 33:5 could be seen in the idea that God loves righteousness and justice, yet there are real-world situations where people experience suffering and injustice. This might lead some to question how these experiences align with the idea of a just and loving God.
