Paradox #1
The potential contradiction with this verse could be its depiction of protection using imagery of a bird's feathers and wings. Scientifically, this is metaphorical language, and such protection can't be directly applied to human safety or physical reality. The verse uses poetic symbolism that doesn't have a literal scientific counterpart.
