Proverbs 11:2: [When] pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly [is] wisdom.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 8:1
This verse indicates that knowledge can lead to arrogance, contrasting the positive connotation of enrichment in knowledge mentioned in 1 Corinthians 1:5.

Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 1:18

Ecclesiastes 1:18: For in much wisdom [is] much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
Contradiction with James 3:1
