Oxymoron:

1: O miserable abundance, O  beggarly riches!

Paradoxes:

2: What a pity that youth must be wasted on the young.

3: I can resist anything but temptation.

4: How is it possible to have a  civil war?

<h3>What is an oxymoron?</h3>

It is a figure of speech in which two seemingly incompatible terms are used together.

e.g Fully empty, living death, O loving hate.

Only "O miserable abundance, O beggarly riches!" fits the definition of an oxymoron, according to this definition.

<h3>What are paradoxes?</h3>

It is akin to an oxymoron, except it usually involves a series of logically incongruous claims that, depending on the circumstances, may or may not be true.

e.g "Everything I say is a lie", Barber  "A male barber only shaves the males who don't shave. Everything I say is a lie. Does he shave?"

As we can see, there are just assertions that might contradict one another rather than phrases or words that are contradictory.

The code is notable for having some of the earliest basis for the law of retribution or simply put, the idea of "an eye for an eye" by including examples of scenarios where the law would be applied. For instance, the code talks about how a man who steals a cow must pay it back 30 times.
