Contradiction with Job 5:15
While Psalms 34:10 states that those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing, Job 5:15 suggests that deliverance is required because the poor are often in need.
Job 5:15: But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
Contradiction with Job 24:1
Psalms 34:10 promises fulfillment for the seekers of the Lord, whereas Job 24:1 questions why times are not always in the open favor of the Almighty for those who know Him.
Job 24:1: Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
Contradiction with Proverbs 13:23
Although Psalms 34:10 assures that those seeking the Lord will not lack any good thing, Proverbs 13:23 presents the idea that much food is wasted due to injustice, implying lack among the needy.
Proverbs 13:23: Much food [is in] the tillage of the poor: but there is [that is] destroyed for want of judgment.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 7:15
Where Psalms 34:10 implies fulfillment and provision, Ecclesiastes 7:15 observes that righteousness does not always lead to prolonged life, showing complexity in the idea of provision.
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 Isaiah 8:17
Psalms 34:10 assures those who seek the Lord shall not lack, yet Isaiah 8:17 acknowledges waiting on the Lord, who hides His face, suggesting delayed fulfillment.
Isaiah 8:17: And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 12:1
The promise in Psalms 34:10 is challenged in Jeremiah 12:1, which observes the prosperity of the wicked and questions the justice in the lives of the righteous seekers of God.
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 Habakkuk 1:2-3
While Psalms 34:10 assures no lack for those seeking God, Habakkuk 1:2-3 laments prolonged unanswered cries and prevailing injustice, suggesting unmet needs.
Habakkuk 1:2-3: O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! [even] cry out unto thee [of] violence, and thou wilt not save!
Contradiction with Matthew 5:45
Psalms 34:10 offers assurance to the righteous, but Matthew 5:45 suggests that God provides for both the evil and the good alike, not differentiating in providence.
Matthew 5:45: That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
Contrary to the assurance in Psalms 34:10, 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 describes the hardships faced by the righteous, indicating experiences of lack despite faith.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9: [We are] troubled on every side, yet not distressed; [we are] perplexed, but not in despair; [in despair: or, altogether without help, or, means]
Paradox #1
Psalms 34:10 talks about the idea that those who seek the Lord will lack no good thing. A possible contradiction or conflict might arise when someone believes they are devoted to seeking God but still experiences hardship or lack in life. This could lead to questioning the promise made in the verse versus the reality of their situation.
