Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:20
This verse states that only the soul who sins shall die, implying individual accountability for sin, while Psalm 7:16 suggests the consequences of one's mischief fall upon themselves, aligning rather than contradicting.
Ezekiel 18:20: The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Contradiction with Galatians 6:7
This verse suggests a direct relationship between action and consequence similar to Psalm 7:16, thus it may not be a contradiction.
Galatians 6:7: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Contradiction with Proverbs 26:2
Although this verse describes the groundless nature of a curse without cause, it doesn’t directly contradict the "self-harm" theme of Psalm 7:16; it emphasizes causality which doesn't directly oppose.
Proverbs 26:2: As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
Contradiction with Romans 5:12
This verse focuses on the shared consequence of sin (death) entering through one man (Adam), not directly contradicting individual retribution expressed in Psalm 7:16.
Romans 5:12: Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: [for that: or, in whom]
Paradox #1
This verse suggests that people who plan harm against others will face harm themselves. The moral conflict here might be seen in the principle of "eye for an eye," where someone's wrongdoing results in a similar consequence. Some might argue this approach goes against the ideas of forgiveness and turning the other cheek, which are also teachings found in the Bible. This could create a contradiction between justice and mercy.
