Contradiction with Jeremiah 51:20
This verse describes God using a mighty tool (the nation of Babylon) to destroy and judge, which appears to align with Amos 5:9 rather than contradict, showing God’s strength in destruction.
Jeremiah 51:20: Thou [art] my battle axe [and] weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; [with thee: or, in thee, or, by thee]
Contradiction with Psalm 46:9
Amos 5:9 describes God strengthening the destroyer, whereas this verse details God making wars cease and breaking weapons, focusing on peace rather than destruction.
Psalm 46:9: He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
Contradiction with Isaiah 2:4
Contrasts Amos 5:9 as it speaks of God judging among nations and creating peace, not enabling destruction.
Isaiah 2:4: And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. [pruninghooks: or, scythes]
Contradiction with Matthew 5:9
Describes the blessedness of peacemakers, contrasting with Amos 5:9's notion of divine empowerment for destruction.
Matthew 5:9: Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Contradiction with Micah 4:3
Similar to Isaiah 2:4, mentions turning swords into plowshares, contradicting the destructive empowerment in Amos 5:9.
Micah 4:3: And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. [pruninghooks: or, scythes]
