Paradox #1
Psalms 69:24, in which the psalmist asks for God's wrath to be poured out on their enemies, can be seen as inconsistent with the New Testament teachings of forgiveness and love for one's enemies, as taught by Jesus. This could be seen as a contradiction between the call for vengeance in the Old Testament and the message of forgiveness in the New Testament.
Paradox #2
The potential contradiction or inconsistency with Psalms 69:24 could relate to the theme of seeking divine vengeance. Some parts of the Bible, particularly in the New Testament, promote forgiveness and love for enemies (e.g., teachings of Jesus about loving your enemies and turning the other cheek). This could seem inconsistent with parts of the Old Testament that involve calling for judgment or wrath on one's enemies. The difference reflects a shift in emphasis from justice and retribution in the Old Testament to mercy and forgiveness in the New Testament.
Paradox #3
The contradiction or conflict in that verse could be seen as the expression of seeking divine retribution or wishing harm upon others, which conflicts with the broader biblical teachings of love, forgiveness, and compassion towards others.
