Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:11
While Daniel 2:20 emphasizes God’s control and wisdom, Ecclesiastes 9:11 suggests that time and chance can happen to anyone, implying less divine control.
Ecclesiastes 9:11: I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Contradiction with Romans 11:33
Daniel 2:20 highlights God's wisdom and power being given to humans, whereas Romans 11:33 states that God's ways and judgments are unsearchable and beyond human understanding.
Romans 11:33: O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Contradiction with Isaiah 45:7
Daniel 2:20 praises God for wisdom and might, but Isaiah 45:7 includes God creating both peace and evil, complicating the notion of His wisdom and benevolence.
Isaiah 45:7: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
Contradiction with Job 21:7
Daniel 2:20 acknowledges God's agency in the world, but Job 21:7 questions why the wicked often thrive, implying a contradiction in perceived divine justice.
Job 21:7: Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
Contradiction with Matthew 5:45
Daniel 2:20 credits God with wisdom and power, whereas Matthew 5:45 says that God makes the sun rise on the evil and the good, suggesting a more impartial divine interaction.
Matthew 5:45: That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
