Check out Contradictions Catalog of Daniel 2:10 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Daniel 2:10. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Daniel, the wise men said to the king that no one on earth could tell him what he dreamed, and that's why no king had ever asked such hard questions from people like them before. They wanted the king to know that figuring out dreams was beyond what any human could do by themselves.

Daniel 2:10: The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter: therefore [there is] no king, lord, nor ruler, [that] asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.

Contradiction with Genesis 18:14

This verse asserts that nothing is too hard for the Lord, contradicting the claim in Daniel 2:10 that no one could interpret the king's dream.

Genesis 18:14: Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

Contradiction with Jeremiah 32:17

Here, it is stated that nothing is too hard for God, opposing the idea in Daniel 2:10 that no one could reveal the king's matter.

Jeremiah 32:17: Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, [and] there is nothing too hard for thee: [too...: or, hid from thee]

Contradiction with Matthew 19:26

With God all things are possible, which contradicts the declaration in Daniel 2:10 regarding human inability to interpret the dream.

Matthew 19:26: But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Contradiction with Luke 1:37

For with God nothing shall be impossible, which stands against the statement in Daniel 2:10 that no man can do what the king asks.

Luke 1:37: For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Contradiction with Mark 10:27

Jesus says that with God all things are possible, contradicting the view in Daniel 2:10 about the impossibility of interpreting the dream.

Mark 10:27: And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men [it is] impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

Contradiction with Job 42:2

God's power makes all things possible, contradicting the assertion in Daniel 2:10 regarding the impossibility of fulfilling the king's demand.

Job 42:2: I know that thou canst do every [thing], and [that] no thought can be withholden from thee. [no thought can be...: or, no thought of thine can be hindered]

Contradiction with Isaiah 40:28

The verse speaks of God's unfathomable understanding, opposing the implication in Daniel 2:10 that no one could explain the king's dream.

Isaiah 40:28: Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? [there is] no searching of his understanding.

Paradox #1

The potential contradiction in Daniel 2:10 could be seen as the inability of wise men to interpret the king's dream, which might highlight human limitations in understanding divine mysteries. This could conflict with the expectation that wise or learned people should have the answers to significant problems. Such a situation might raise questions about the reliance on human wisdom versus divine revelation.
