Check out Contradictions Catalog of Daniel 4:37 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Daniel 4:37. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Daniel, this verse shows that King Nebuchadnezzar learned to say thank you to God, who is the King of heaven. He realized that God can make people who are too proud understand their mistakes.

Daniel 4:37: Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works [are] truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

Contradiction with Jeremiah 9:23

This verse emphasizes that the wise, strong, and rich should not glory in their wisdom, strength, or riches, which contrasts with Nebuchadnezzar's praise and exaltation of God, implying personal humility rather than glory in one's own achievements.

Jeremiah 9:23: Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise [man] glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty [man] glory in his might, let not the rich [man] glory in his riches:

Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 1:31

This verse suggests that anyone who boasts should boast in the Lord itself, paralleling Daniel 4:37 where Nebuchadnezzar is boasting about God's power, but could be seen as contradicting if viewed as Nebuchadnezzar exalting himself through recognizing God's authority.

1 Corinthians 1:31: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Contradiction with James 4:10

This verse instructs believers to humble themselves before the Lord for exaltation, which could be seen as contradictory if Nebuchadnezzar's praise in Daniel 4:37 is interpreted as self-exaltation through the recognition of divine authority, instead of humility.

James 4:10: Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
