Contradiction with Deuteronomy 28:63
While Amos 7:5 shows a plea for mercy, Deuteronomy 28:63 emphasizes God's intention to bring judgment and destruction upon disobedient people.
Deuteronomy 28:63: And it shall come to pass, [that] as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:23
Amos 7:5 appeals for the cessation of destruction, whereas Ezekiel 18:23 suggests God takes no pleasure in the death, indicating His preference for mercy.
Ezekiel 18:23: Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: [and] not that he should return from his ways, and live?
Contradiction with Jeremiah 15:1
Amos 7:5 involves an intercessory plea, while Jeremiah 15:1 denotes God's resolve to not be swayed by intercession when His judgment is determined.
Jeremiah 15:1: Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, [yet] my mind [could] not [be] toward this people: cast [them] out of my sight, and let them go forth.
Contradiction with Isaiah 1:24
Amos 7:5 requests God's mercy, in contradiction to Isaiah 1:24 where God expresses His desire to avenge Himself on His adversaries.
Isaiah 1:24: Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency might be seen in the tension between divine judgment and mercy. On one hand, there is a plea for forgiveness and restraint from punishment, while on the other hand, the need for justice and consequences suggests they may be incompatible. This can lead to confusion about whether mercy should override justice, or vice versa.
