Contradiction with 1 Timothy 6:10
Emphasizes that the love of money is the root of evil, contrasting with the positive depiction of receiving riches in Psalms 72:15.
1 Timothy 6:10: For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. [erred: or, been seduced]
Contradiction with Proverbs 23:4-5
Advises against laboring to be rich, opposing the idea of valuing earthly wealth found in Psalms 72:15.
Proverbs 23:4-5: Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
Contradiction with James 5:1-3
Warns of misery to come for the rich, contradictory to the blessing of wealth implied in Psalms 72:15.
James 5:1-3: Go to now, [ye] rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon [you].
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction or conflict in Psalms 72:15 might arise from the fact that it involves a request or expectation for material gifts or offerings, which could be seen as conflicting with the broader teaching in the Bible that emphasizes the importance of spiritual over material wealth. While the context is about honoring a king or leader, some might see a contradiction in valuing riches or tributes, as other parts of the Bible stress generosity and humility over accumulating wealth.
