Contradiction with Genesis 1:29
While Daniel 4:20 speaks of a tree that provides for all creatures, Genesis 1:29 assigns this provision to plants and seeds for human sustenance.
Genesis 1:29: And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which [is] the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. [bearing...: Heb. seeding seed] [yielding...: Heb. seeding seed]
Contradiction with Matthew 6:26
Daniel 4:20 describes a tree that shelters birds, while Matthew 6:26 states that God provides for birds, suggesting direct divine care rather than reliance on nature.
Matthew 6:26: Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Contradiction with Isaiah 55:12
Daniel 4:20 emphasizes a specific tree, whereas Isaiah 55:12 speaks of all trees clapping, highlighting a collective nature aspect.

Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:8
Daniel 4:20 portrays a large, protective tree, while Jeremiah 17:8 describes a tree thriving by water, focusing on personal spiritual growth rather than grandeur and shelter.
Jeremiah 17:8: For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and [that] spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. [drought: or, restraint]
Contradiction with Revelation 7:1
While Daniel 4:20 describes an earthly tree, Revelation 7:1 speaks of the cessation of wind holding back destruction, emphasizing divine restraint over natural elements rather than their peaceful provision.
Revelation 7:1: And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
